FAIRFIELD, OH (January 10, 2025)—Get your bat and glove ready; TRD Adult League Softball at the Joe Nuxhall Miracle League Fields is right around the corner!
Registration for the 2025 Therapeutic Recreation for the Disabled (TRD) softball season is now available. This year’s registration deadline is Friday, April 4, and the season begins play on Friday, May 2. For the first time, registration is now available online at www.trdohio.org.
“Steve Smith and the crew of character-driven volunteers at TRD have built an adult league that our entire region should be proud of,” says Kim Nuxhall, president and board chairman of The Nuxhall Foundation. “Their commitment to serving individuals of all abilities and all ages is a blessing to the special needs community throughout Greater Cincinnati, and we can’t wait to celebrate another season watching their all-stars achieve great things.”
It wouldn’t be the start of a new season at the Nuxhall Miracle League without a parade! Both youth and adult league athletes will kick off the season in style with Joe Nuxhall Miracle League Fields Opening Day Parade on Saturday, April 26, 2025 at 10:00am. The parade begins at Sacred Heart Church in Fairfield and makes its way to the Nuxhall Miracle League Fields, where players will be introduced in an on-field ceremony.
For the TRD Adult League, athletes will begin practices on Friday, March 28th, 2025, which will continue every week (excluding April 18) until the season opener on Friday, May 2nd. The regular season will play through Friday, July 18th, and will be followed by a two-week playoff tournament. Always a fan favorite, the TRD End of Season Picnic returns on Sunday, August 3 to cap off the summer schedule. To pay tribute to the TRD league’s elder statesman, Freddie Hoover, who passed away last year at the age of 80, the event will officially be renamed “The Freddie Hoover Celebration Picnic.” The picnic was always one of Hoover’s favorite events each year.
Leagues at The Joe Nuxhall Miracle League Fields are managed and operated by partner organizations and a committed group of volunteers. Since the opening of The Joe Nuxhall Miracle League Fields in 2012, the Great Miami Valley YMCA and Therapeutic Recreation for the Disabled (TRD) have served as the providing partners for the youth and adult leagues respectively.
“TRD is an organization committed to making ‘baseball for all’ a reality, and we are thankful for the vision they’ve had for their program,” says Nuxhall. “We are grateful for all of their volunteers who spend their Friday nights coaching and supporting their athletes, and to all of the parents, family members, and friends who come out to cheer them on. We can’t wait to kick off another great season in partnership with TRD!”
