Coaching Opportunities

Do you have an hour or two to spare each week in the spring and fall? No angry competition. Just fun! You don’t have to know much about baseball. You just need a heart for the players and a compassionate, enthusiastic spirit. It’s the most rewarding coaching experience you’ll ever have. As we continue to grow, we are looking for more dedicated coaches that fit in with our mission and vision. We truly have the best baseball in Pittsburgh! Come be a part of it!

"I have had the honor of being involved with the Miracle League of the South Hills as a coach since it began. I immediately fell in love with this program and all of the wonderful people who make it so great. It is so heartwarming to see the sheer joy on the faces of the players as they navigate the field without barriers and play the game of baseball like they've never been able to before. In the stands, you see the parents and family members bursting with pride as they cheer on their athletes....it's truly an amazing organization!" - MLSH Coach
