Dear Junior Giants Families,
Thank you for your patience as we’ve navigated these unprecedented times together. We have come to the difficult decision that we will not be able to hold an in-person Junior Giants season this year. This decision was made by The Department of Youth, Parks & Community Enrichment with the support of the Giants Community Fund. While we wish we could be on the fields together, our number one priority is the health and safety of our community, especially our kids.
In the meantime, the Giants Community Fund is offering a free 4-week virtual season called Junior Giants at Home. Led by Junior Giants AmeriCorps Ambassadors, these live virtual practices combine physical activity, Word of the Week content and videos created by Giants players and coaches just for Junior Giants players. Registration is now live, please see below for more details.
Be well, go Junior Giants!
