  1. I learned that you can be 4 to 19 to do this. The program wants to make everybody feel like a winner so they dont keep scores. Each person who is disabled gats a buddy to help them. This program Is awesome. Its such a good program, its great to see people trying to make Austin a better community. Mackenzie J

  2. I think that this is a great idea! I would also love to volunteer here one day! I like that the baseball game is adjusted to be easier for the children with disabilities and that there is no competition so that no child feels left out becasue of her disability. the fact that this organization has grown to where it is now shows that people really do care aboutt hese types of kids!

  3. 1) there is no price
    2) it is a league for children with diasbilities from 4 years old to 19 years old.
    3)the league doesnt count points because they want everyone to enjoy the sport
    watching this video made me feel so great inside because it is just so good to know that people out there in the world are trying to help others to help make a better community for those that live in it. also every child has a partner that helps a child playing baseball to help lead them in how to play and even some of the kids can earn a life time buddy.

  4. I learned that the miracle league doesn't keep a score. the only thing that matters is having fun. They get their own uniforms and have a choice of playing. they can play t-ball or just play normal baseball. I think its really cool because they can have fun without their disability getting in the way of it. So, that's pretty awesome.

  6. In the mirical leauge, kids with disabilitys play baseball because they can not play little leaug baseball. They have buddys that help them play the game. It really helps the kids do things they want to do. I felt happy when I watched the vidio because it showes how much we care about these kids that need a little more help than most people. It was verry cool to see disabled kids playing baseball and having a good time.

  9. 3 things that make this league different than other leagues:
    1. No score is kept so that every kid is a winner
    2. There is a buddy for safety of the child with disabilites
    3. Each player gets to keep swinging unitl they hit the ball.
    These adjustments makes it so much easier for the kids to play ball! :P

  11. The miricle league helps many people with different dissabilities play baseball and have fun.

    Another thing that is different is that they have buddies to support and help them.
    And a third thing is that everyone is a winner.
    i THINK THAT THIS IS A GREAT THING that they are doing and hope i can maybe get involved with this. -Aleesa

    This video made me feel like the kids who are in this leage, feel really happy that they are able to play baseball with friends and other kids like them. My athlete is always happy. When i joke around with Ezekial, he laghs and smiles and that makes me feel really good that im helping and making a difference in their lifes. Kids in this video feel really happy and it makes me feel good knowing that there are more and more leages like this that give them a chince. It also gives me an opportunity to see how many kids with disabilities that there are. The other week, i hears a girl in our grade call one of the girls in our class a "disabled girl" that made me feel terible that people call them that because they are able.

  15. I didn't know about miracle league.

    1.i learned that all the players are winners and they don't keep score.

    2.i learned that everyone can play and no one loses,they are all winners.

    3.i learned that players that can't play regular baseball can play the game and not worry about other people making fun of them if they can't do it

    I loved reading about the miracle league and i want to volunteer there! :)
