- Can my player maintain stability on a different surface? If Yes – Your player may be ready to play on the Blue field. Please consider the Classic division.
- Can my player protect themselves if they fall? If Yes – Your player may be ready to play on the Blue field. Please consider the Classic division.
We are sensitive to the comfort of our players and will always make exceptions to best accommodate all players. Teams will be formed according to your child’s age and/or experience level. Safety is our MAIN concern, the Miracle League DFW reserves the right for placement. For all Divisions – games are participatory; your player will have the opportunity to bat every inning and score a run for his/her own team.
Level of function, in addition to age, is also considered when determining teams. Physical and communication capabilities are criteria utilized to make the best fit possible for every individual player. Our unique population has such a broad set of functional skills which allows us to place players on teams taking physical capability into account in addition to a players age. This can provide an ideal level of challenge and success for all players. Decisions regarding team placement are carefully considered and always remain fluid and subject to ongoing evaluation.
