THE BAY AREA MENS SENIOR BASEBALL LEAGUE AND THE SAN FRANCISCO JUNIOR GIANTS have partnered together this year to host the Junior Giants Summer Festival to be held at Balboa Park in August 2009. BAMSBL has agreed to take on this years responsibilities in an effort to help give back to the community.
We are looking for volunteers from the BAMSBL family to help make this years festival a success for the children. For more information please contact Anthony Bishop at abishop@newcal.com
Information About The Junior Giants
-Junior Giants is a free, non-competitive and co-ed baseball program for children ages 5-18 in over 80 communities throughout California, Oregon and Nevada.
-Over 15,000 kids play Junior Giants each year, primarily in the summer months.
-With the help of over 2,000 coaches, players learn the importance of teamwork and confidence, rather than how many runs were scored or bases stolen.
-Because coaches are volunteer based, there is always a need in each and every league for more coaches.
-Each year, nearly 6,000 kids do not own their own glove. To decrease that number, a Glove Drive is held at AT&T Park where fans can donate a new or used glove, or $10, and receive a commemorative pin.
