We are partnered with Next Level Mental Performance – Powered by Joey’s Little Angels, to provide our players & families the opportunity to develop their social & emotional skills to manage the performance anxieties that come with playing sports.  It is our goal to work together to learn strategies that can be applied not just on the baseball diamond, but also in our day-to-day lives.

Topics focus on developing the W.I.N. (What’s Important Now) philosophy, self-talk practices, cognititve training, nutrition, and executive functioning.

Next Level is lead by co-owner Giannina Cipolloni, Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Mental Performance Consultant and full-time mental performance coach for the Philadelphia Phillies.

Giannina and her amazing team are providing our Miracle Leaguers the same opportunities as major league players to thrive in their life experiences.

On top of our baseball programs, Miracle League seeks to connect as much with our #OneLeagueOneFamily as possible.  Through the leadership of our Parent Social Planning Committee, MLMC hosts a number of events each year in an effort to create more shared experiences together, outside of our baseball programs.

These events include:

• Annual Easter Egg hunt.
• Sensory movie night.
• Bowling night.
• Summer Luau.
• Field of Treats Halloween night.
• Annual BonFire & Movie Night.
• Winter Wonderland & S’mores w/Santa.

• For information, email the Parent Social Committee at: mlmcsocialcommittee@gmail.com

The Garden State Plate at Armando’s Cafe gives our players (14 and older) experience practicing their employment skills.  Player workers will work on customer service, inventory, and money skills, just to name a few.  Shifts are one hour in length and usually fall either directly before or directly after a player’s game.  We try to pair each player worker with a volunteer buddy when possible.  We want every player who wants to participate to be able to.

To address any accessibility issues and ensure each player’s success, we collaborate with The College of New Jersey’s Center on Sensory and Complex Disabilities; as well as utilizing the skills of parents and MLMC Committee members with backgrounds in special education and speech, occupational, and physical therapy.
