FAIRFIELD, OH (January 12, 2023)—After celebrating a decade of dreams this past summer, baseball and softball are back at The Joe Nuxhall Miracle League Fields for a new season!
Registration for the Great Miami Valley YMCA Youth League’s Spring 2023 season and the Therapeutic Recreation for the Disabled Adult League Summer 2023 season are now available.
“This is the time of year that we always look forward to,” says Kim Nuxhall, president and board chairman of The Nuxhall Foundation. “Our facility really comes to life when our players, families, and volunteers return to the rubber. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back to a place we all love while witnessing our athletes do what they do best.”
Both leagues will kick off the season in style with Joe Nuxhall Miracle League Fields Opening Day Parade on Saturday, April 22, 2023 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, season play begins the following Saturday, April 29, 2023 with games scheduled to be played at 9am and 11am during this seven-week season. The Therapeutic Recreation for the Disabled (TRD) Adult Softball League plays on Friday evenings at 6pm and 7:30pm beginning May 5, and culminates with the season championship games on August 4, 2023.
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 have served as the providing partners for the youth and adult leagues respectively.
