What if I have to miss a game?
No worries! When you know you're going to miss a game, let your coach know so they know not to put you in the lineup that week.

How do I stay informed throughout the season?
We will send out weekly emails on Tuesdays during the season to let you know what's coming up for the next week! Be sure to save info@miracleleaguesouthhills.org to your contacts!

Where is the field located?
The field is located at Boyce Mayview Park in Upper St. Clair, PA. The address is 1551 Mayview Road, Upper St. Clair, PA 15241. When you turn into the entrance of the complex, take the right up the hill, and turn right at the first stop sign. Use that parking lot, and you'll see the stadium and playground straight ahead!

Is there a concession stand?
