FAIRFIELD, OH (January 3, 2025)—With an impending snowstorm in the forecast, Joe Nuxhall Miracle League All-Stars are dreaming of baseball and warm, sunny mornings on the rubber. For those looking to fight the frigid temps, registration for Spring League Baseball is the remedy!
Registration for the Great Miami Valley YMCA Youth League’s Spring 2025 season is now available. Registration is open until March 31, but will close early if capacity is reached. The season begins play on Saturday, May 3, 2025.
“We are so looking forward to the return of our athletes with special abilities at the Joe Nuxhall Miracle League Fields,” says Kim Nuxhall, president and board chairman of The Nuxhall Foundation. “We are working hard this entire offseason to ensure that their return to baseball includes wonderful memories that will last a lifetime.”
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 Great Miami Valley YMCA Youth League, regular season play begins the following Saturday with games scheduled to be played at 9:15am and 11am for seven consecutive weeks. Special events are currently being planned by The Nuxhall Foundation to add some extra magic to gamedays, including a “Halfway to Christmas” celebration in June.
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.
“Our partnership with the Great Miami Valley YMCA and TRD has allowed us to better serve more players of all abilities, and we are so grateful for their leadership,” says Nuxhall.
