* New for 2025 *

With strong support from member association leadership, MBL is adding rest day requirements based on pitch counts for the 2025 league regular season and playoffs. The MBL league web site will assist coaches in tracking rest days, to make these rules as easy as possible to follow.

Click HERE for the 2025 Rest Day Table
 

The full MBL calendar will be published next week.  Here are some key dates:

Wednesday, April 2 - Phase I SCHEDULING OPENS
Sunday, April 6 - Phase I scheduling ends; all league games must be entered into MBL site

Monday, April 14 - First day for league games
Monday, June 30 - Last day for league games

July 22-24: League Playoff Tier Championship games

In order for coaches to add players, asst coaches and managers to a roster, those players must be registered in the MBL system.  The links below will explain the process of having parents register their player(s) and how coaches can then add players to their rosters. Individuals only need to register one time, but all players must have their own individual usernames/registrations. For returning coaches, most of your players are most likely already in the system. Double registrations will cause issues; any efforts to avoid this are appreciated.

(The league playoffs are different than MBT State Tournaments.)

The South Metro Miracle League needs your team's help!  They are in need of volunteer teams to participate in the Buddy Program, pairing ML players with able-bodied friends to help them on and off the field during the game.  It is a great combination when an MBL team pairs up with a Miracle League team on a game night. We have had many MBL teams enroll in the program over the years and EVERYONE has a great experience. Teams or individuals who are interested in the Buddy Program can contact Kari Schmitz for more information or to sign-up. (kari.tennis@aol.com)

The Miracle League provides an opportunity for kids and adults aged three and older with cognitive and/or physical disabilities to play baseball.
