JUNIOR GIANTS FREE

YOUTH BASEBALL LEAGUE

LIGA DE BALONCESTO
JUVENIL, GRATIS

Play Ball! Rohnert Park Community Services
is excited to be able to partner again with the
Giants Community Fund to bring back for 2021
their flagship program, Junior Giants.

Junior Giants is a free, non-competitive, co-ed baseball and softball league for children. This innovative program
is designed by the Giants Community Fund in cooperation with the San Francisco Giants. It uses baseball and
softball to encourage and educate kids to live healthy and productive lives.
Each week, children are instructed on the fundamentals of the game and take part in a discussion on the “word
of the week.” Words of the week include the “Four Bases of Character Development”: confidence, teamwork,
leadership, and integrity. As kids complete each week’s discussions and challenges, they can earn fantastic San
Francisco Giants-themed rewards.
COVID 19 HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS
The health and safety of our players and families is always of the highest importance. We are working hard to
provide all of our Junior Giants the best possible experience providing a safe and fun environment following all
state and local health and safety guidelines. As the guidelines are subject to change before the season additional
information will be provided as we get closer to the start of the season.

No experience or equipment necessary. Equipment is generously provided by the Giants Community Fund.
