A message from Miracle League of Harford County:

Opening Day is April 16 and we will be having the players split into 2 groups. Ages 13 and under will begin play at 9:30 am and age 14 and up will begin at 10:45 am. These changes will make it possible to have more one-on-one skills training and possibly more game time. In addition, it will create a safer atmosphere for the players since there will not be the wide spread of ages on the field at the
same time.

We are planning on having games each Saturday till the end of June. We know that not everyone will be in attendance every week, but love having those that can make it out and welcome everyone whenever they can attend.

We look forward to more great times on the field and helping the players.

Ages 5 – 13 Saturday Mornings 9:30 am
Ages 14 and up Saturday Mornings 10:45 am
