About Junior Giants

Junior Giants is a free, non-competitive, and innovative co-ed baseball program for under-served children ages 5-13 years old (as of 6/12/23). The Junior Giants Program is made possible by the Giants Community Fund, which collaborates with the San Francisco Giants, by using baseball as a forum to encourage youth and their families to live healthy, productive lives. The program teaches kids the fundamentals of baseball, but places a higher emphasis on building character than on wins and losses. The program offers a wide array of educational components, including the Round-the-Bases Reading Program, the Strike-Out Bullying Contest and Four Bases of Character Development (Confidence, Integrity, Leadership and Teamwork). This program encourages kids to live healthy and productive lives by getting outside, playing baseball and learning important life lessons at the same time.

Play on a Junior Giants Team

The season runs from early June to August. Each team has one practice and one game per week. Practices and games last approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes (depending on age division) and take place on Monday-Thursday.

Register

Register online beginning 4/3/23 at GoJrGiants.com or in person on 4/25/23 from 5-8pm at Steele Lane Community Center (415 Steele Ln., Santa Rosa).

Team Parents

Team Parents (PDF) are essential for coordinating the Junior Giants program elements that extend beyond baseball, such as education, health and bullying prevention. The team parent is a vital part of each player's character development and must be prepared to be committed to the team for the duration of the season.
