Buddies
Buddies are paired with one player for the entire season and often develop a very special, rewarding relationship. They provide support and encouragement while ensuring their player’s safety. Buddies are required to attend their team’s games each Saturday for one hour and to arrive 30 minutes prior to their game. They make a season-long commitment to their player, sign the “Buddy Pledge” and receive community service hours. Buddies must be at least 12 years old to participate.
If you are not able to commit to the entire season, there are a limited number of spots available to be a “floater buddy” and assist with athletes when needed. You may indicate “floater buddy” during the registration process.
Buddy registration for our Fall season is now open.

Game Day Volunteers
The Miracle League of Tuscaloosa also needs volunteers to help out at our information table, on the field as umpires.
Umpires provide support and encouragement to athletes as they round the bases and assist with safety and equipment. Umpires should be at least seven years old.
Information/check-in volunteers help provide information to fans and visitors. Information/check-in volunteers should be at least 12 years old.
Register now to be a Game Day volunteer for our Fall season.
Coaches
Coaches provide guidance, encouragement and compassion to the players and buddies and help ensure the games run smoothly each week. There are up to three coaches per team, and they may range from high school students to senior citizens. Coaches are required to arrive 30 minutes before their game each Saturday. Games last for one hour, and there are no practices.
