    History

    The dream of having a Miracle Field in Tallahassee was born in 2006 when David Jones, President of the Florida Disabled Outdoors Association (FDOA), watched a Miracle League baseball game in St. Petersburg, Florida. With the help of the City of Tallahassee, Jim Wylie, past Lieutenant Governor of the Kiwanis and local Kiwanis Clubs, City of Tallahassee – Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Affairs, Leon County, sponsors and in-kind donations from Genesis Group, Sandco, and C.W. Roberts Asphalt and Paving, more than $400,000 was raised for the completion of the Miracle Field. In addition to the money, many man hours went into making the Miracle Field a reality, including the countless hours spent by FDOA Board Member, David Lowe, as the project coordinator. David Lowe worked in conjunction with the City of Tallahassee – Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Affairs staff and other partners to ensure the project was to be completed on time. On November 5, 2008, the Miracle Field was dedicated. The Miracle Field of Tallahassee is located at: James Messer Sports Complex, 2899 Jackson Bluff Road, Tallahassee, FL 32304.

    Miracle Field and Facilities

    The Miracle Field of Tallahassee is a rubberized surface field that allows accessibility to people of all abilities to play a variety of sports without limitations. There is accessible parking as well as accessible restrooms located at the facility. The dugouts are accessible and there are bleachers available for family and friends. Water coolers are located in each dugout for the teams.

    Players

Everyone plays in an inclusive recreation environment and any reasonable accommodations needed are made to ensure the safety and full participation of each player. All abilities are welcome. Registration forms are available on the website. Scholarships are available through the generosity of the Kiwanis Clubs of the Big Bend; please see scholarship form for more information. The program is open to ages five through adult. Players are put on youth and adult teams based upon age and skill level.

    Volunteers

This is the perfect opportunity for individuals, school groups, churches, families, and the community to get involved and make a difference in someone’s life.
