About The Miracle League of the Lehigh Valley

Founded in 2006 through the efforts of a dedicated board and a caring community, The Miracle League of the Lehigh Valley provides sports and social activities year-round for hundreds of children and young adults with special needs. We were founded on the principles of inclusion, building self-esteem, and that everyone deserves a chance to play baseball and we continue to uphold those values today.

Our Mission

To provide children and young adults with special needs the opportunity to play baseball and have social interactions.

Our Vision

For every child and young adult with special needs to have a second home where they are welcomed, accepted, and loved.

Our Story

How We Got Started

The Miracle League of the Lehigh Valley was founded in 2006, dedicated to providing children with special needs and other developmental disabilities an opportunity to play baseball. The $1.5 million facility was completed for $750,000 and well ahead of schedule. This demonstrates the great outpouring of generosity from those involved in the construction of Fowler Field. It occupies approximately 5 acres of land in scenic Heidelberg Township, Pennsylvania. Opening ceremonies were held on July 27, 2006. Despite rain and thunderstorms, the great players and adoring fans were not deterred! Special guests included State Senators Pat Browne and James Rhoades, and the Philly Phanatic.

The state-of-the-art field is located on 5858 Sell Road, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania. It is in Heidelberg Township, along Rte. 309 N, approximately 9 miles from Route 22. To protect our very special players, the field itself is composed of Mondo Super X Performance turf. This is the same rubber surface material used for track events at the Olympic Games.

Where We Are Now

2022 will be our 17th baseball season! We have ten different baseball teams and 240+ players registered to play. Since our inception we have become much more than baseball. We now have a co-ed cheerleading team and activities almost every week of the year. Miracle League continues to grow, adding more players, more games, more activities, and more fun!
