Buddies

• Safety first
• Playing Baseball & Having Fun
• Encouragement

Miracle League Buddies are volunteer’s ranging in age from middle school students to senior citizens. These include family members and local youth and civic groups. Though we call them Buddies many people refer to the volunteers as “Angels in the Outfield.”

The following are the goals for The Miracle League Buddies:

1.  To protect the Miracle League player at all times!
2.  When a “big hitter” is up to bat, Buddies are to step in from of the Miracle League player for protection.
   Assist player according to their needs.
3.  Always allow the Miracle League Player as much freedom as possible to play his/her own game.
4.  Work closely with Coach, Asst. Coach, and Team Mom. Find out how they are going to run practice,
   game, and line-up for that day.
5. Speak with the Miracle League player’s family to learn more about the player and their needs.
6. Be of good spirit with enthusiasm, love, positive attitude, and concern in motivating the players and
   their families.
7. Become the Miracle League player’s friend.
8. Arrive at the field 30 minutes prior to game time. Be properly dressed. Clean buddy shirt and sneakers.
9. Demonstrate high morals and integrity on and off the field. Set an example. Be a good role model.
10. Always communicate with your player & league about dates when you will not be able to attend. Sign up
    for emails, Facebook, and the Team Wall app to get up-to-date information. This is also a great way to
    communicate with League Directors, Coaches, and families.Coach Julia Kadel, Executive Director CoachKadel@gmail.com 561-414-4441
