Our Story

Miracle League for Highlands County was established by a dedicated group of individuals with a passion for wanting our Highlands County athletes to be able to experience the joys of playing baseball. The League began in Fall of 2007 as Miracle League of Lake Placid and played on a typical t-ball sized field. The community rallied around our mission and a special rubberized field was put in place thanks to several important donors such as Glades Electric Cooperative members and with the help of the Town of Lake Placid. Since our athletes come from all over Highlands County our name was changed to Miracle League For Highlands County to reflect this diversity. Our league is free to all athletes with an identified disability or developmental delay ages 3 years to adult who live in Highlands County and surrounding communities thanks to our wonderful donors and sponsors.
