The miracle league continues to offer baseball, basketball, and kickball to children with special needs.

Our summer basketball league continues playing at jefferson playground a jprd (jefferson parish recreation district) complex. We continue to play our fall ball starting in september. Back in 2024, the miracle league collaborated with brother martin high school, a prominent catholic high school in the new orleans area, to host a special all-star weekend for our players. Miracle league players teamed up with players from the brother (continued on schedule o) martin crusaders baseball team in a fundraiser that included batting cages, fielding drills, throwing clinic, and an all-star game that featured intermingled teams of crusaders and miracle league players.

Wish to fish, an organization made up of wildlife and fishery volunteers, sponsors this event.
