  • Service Hours needed? The mission of the Miracle League of Las Vegas is to provide children and adults with cognitive and/or physical challenges in the greater Las Vegas community the opportunity to play baseball and soccer in a safe and nurturing environment. We offer an annual basketball camp and tennis camp as well. Our League is not possible without our VOLUNTEERS! One of our most valuable volunteers is our Player Buddy. The Buddy assists an assigned player in playing their game, both at-bat and in the field. Players are paired with a "Buddy", the Buddy is then with the player the entire game. You won't believe how much fun this can be, and how much it means to our athletes to have a new friend to share the game with! Our Buddies come from all sectors of the community. Please sign up for shifts at www.miracleleaguelasvegas.com Saturday, September 27th, October 4th, 11th, 18th, 25th, and November 1st, 8th, and 15th.

  • MS & HS Sports Physicals – Please use NEW NIAA Physical forms as of 6/5/25: You can obtain the most current physical forms/instructions from Crusader Connect, Resources Page, under MS/HS Sports Registration Information. Aktivate Instructions/NIAA NEW Physical Forms, MS & HS

    • Please do not use the physical forms provided by the doctor’s office. They are usually not current and will be rejected.

    • Physicals expire 12 months from the date of exam. –Up to date physicals are required for the 2025/2026 school year. It is recommended to schedule your physical over the summer break so it’s good for the whole year.

    • All completed physicals must be uploaded into Aktivate for approval. --If your athlete’s physical expires before or during their season, they will not be allowed to try out for a team.

    • Example: Your child is trying out for a fall sport, your previously completed physical was done on 11/10/24. The physical is expired as of 11/10/25. It will not be valid for the 2025/2026 Fall season since it expires during the Fall season. A new physical must be obtained before the season in order for your athlete to try out for their Fall sport.
