Thank you @karen_osato_photography for these amazing photos from Week 8 of our Baseball 2024 Season! #specialneeds #baseballlife
Athletes play team sports with Spirit League for many reasons. One of Marshall’s reasons? He’s a natural athlete. You should have seen his huge smile when he started at six. It was pure excitement to be on a team. 

Now, five years and 13 seasons later, Marshall excels at all three Spirit League youth sports, but his favorite is soccer—because he “likes to run.” When asked how he feels at Spirit League, he says, “I really like Spirit League because everyone is nice, and it is fun!” His advice to a new player is solid. “I would tell them to have a positive and good mindset.” 

We are proud of Marshall and how far he has come. What’s next for him? He will hone his team leadership skills while setting a shining example of good team behavior for his teammates. GO MARSHALL!

March is not madness at Spirit League...just busy. We started with resource fairs in Lake Forest and the CUSD Transition Program, then moved on to making teams for the upcoming youth basketball season. Next, we'll order uniforms, submit another grant application and host a Board of Directors meeting. We love serving our athletes and adore what we do!

What an event! As part of the Mission Viejo Oso Fit 5k, Spirit League managed the kid's races. Coach Tyler led stretches then League staff, together with 50+ community volunteers, guided kids of all ages through 1/4 and 1/2 mile courses. We had so much fun!
