No need to check in.*
How will I know if my game gets delayed or canceled? The BEST way to stay informed about delays and cancellations is to join our one-way text thread through Remind.

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 and miranda@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.
