We are more than baseball! Our facility is home to adaptable and accessible recreation/playground equipment (like our Ability Whirl or Wheelchair Glider), bocce ball courts, and the accessible 18-hole Skidmore Sales & Distributing Mini Golf Club.

Members of our Great Miami Valley YMCA Youth League and our Therapuetic Recreation Adult League receive a complimentary membership to the Skidmore Sales Mini-Golf Club as part of their league registration. Each player receives a ball and putter to bring to the facility when they play. Family members of our all-stars can purchase additional putters and balls through the Joe Nuxhall Miracle League Fields.

The Youth Miracle Leagues are designed for children with special needs ages 5-16. Players are not required be a member of the Great Miami Valley YMCA, as these leagues are open to ALL community participants. Likewise, volunteers are always welcome. Each youth player is matched up with a “Buddy” each week, who plays alongside them throughout the game and provides any special support, encouragement, and assistance necessary for the player to achieve the ultimate success during the game.

Great Miami Valley YMCA hosts spring and fall Miracle Leagues. Each of the league sessions run for a total of 7-8 weeks. League games last approximately ninety minutes in duration. Online registration is available at https://www.gmvymca.org/miracle-league
