For Immediate Release- It’s time to play ball. Miracle League Santa Rosa County’s Opening Day is set for Saturday, April 27 at 8 a.m. at Tiger Point Park in Gulf Breeze. 


Our goal at Miracle League is to provide baseball for all, regardless of ability level. Board member Carol Joyner said seeing the dream become reality is amazing.


“I think everyone on the board is moved by the support from our community,” she said. “We are truly blessed to live in an area that supports special needs the way they do.  My sister played at the Miracle League in Pensacola, and we are so excited to have a Miracle League park in our area.”


This season we have 12 teams playing for six weeks. The program will impact more than 100 children and adults with physical and intellectual disabilities, providing exercise and a chance to bond with others.


Players will be partnered with a buddy volunteer on the field who will assist them with play. Every player will have an opportunity at bat and to run home.


The new adaptive field was made possible by partnerships with Santa Rosa County, Representative Jayer Williamson and generous community donations of time and treasure.


Media are encouraged to attend and take photos and video of our new field in action.


When: April 27 at 8 a.m. opening ceremony


Where: Tiger Point Park, 1370 Tiger Park Ln, Gulf Breeze, FL 32563


The adaptive baseball field is located immediately behind the Community Center building. Opening ceremony starts at 8 a.m. sharp. Games will run from 9 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.


For interview opportunities, please call Board President Shane Player at 850-294-5663. Field photos also available.
