Come be a buddy, a coach, or just a helping hand!
Mission & Goals
Optimist Miracle Movers is a program focusing on our friends with disabilities, allowing them the opportunity to play organized sports, as others do. Each athlete is paired with a volunteer “buddy” who supports them throughout practice and game time. Parents are always welcome to serve as their child’s buddy, or simply cheer them on from the sidelines. Either way, everyone belongs here.
Registration for each sport opens one month before the season begins. Keep an eye on the calendar so you don’t miss your spot!

Anna Harris Volunteer Scholarship 2026 Winner – Evan Marble!
The Anna Harris Scholarship Award honors a graduating senior who has made a meaningful impact through their volunteer service with OMM. This award celebrates leadership, kindness, dedication, and the true spirit of our community.
Congratulations to our 2026 Anna Harris Scholarship Recipient, Evan Marble!
Evan has been an OMM Buddy over many seasons including Softball 2022, Basketball 2023, Basketball 2024, Spring Swim 2025. Evan was accepted to attend IU Bloomington in the fall to study Phycology. Evan’s essay beautifully reflected the spirit of inclusion, compassion, and community that this scholarship represents:
“Seeing how supportive everyone there was of all of the other athletes really spoke to me because it showed me sports can really bring people together… When I signed up as a volunteer, I imagined that I would be bringing joy to the athlete’s life, when in reality, they brought it to my life too.”
