Junior Giants Registration to End

From the Milpitas Police Department: The Milpitas Police Activities League announces that registration for the upcoming Milpitas PAL Junior Giants Summer 2017 Season will be closing Monday, May 15th. On-line registration is still available through Mondayat gojrgiants.org.

The Milpitas Police Activities League Junior Giants Program, in cooperation and supported by the Giants Community Fund, provides a free summer baseball program to over three hundred children, ages 5 through 13, at Dixon Landing Park. Milpitas PAL Junior Giants serves the Fremont, Milpitas, and North San Jose area. This will be Milpitas PAL’s 20th year in partnership with Junior Giants. Children practice one evening a week and play games on Saturday mornings at Dixon Landing Park throughout the summer.

The Junior Giants’ program is certainly not just about teaching kids how to play baseball. The program is designed to reach out to at-risk youth, teaching the importance of character, healthy living habits, education, and taking a stand against bullying. Milpitas PAL received the highest marks among all 92 Junior Giants’ Leagues for making a positive impact on kids in these areas in 2016.

Baseball fans and businesses who would like to make a tax deductible donation to Milpitas PAL or become an official sponsor of our league may do so by contacting Officer Mark Doyle at mdoyle@ci.milpitas.ca.gov.
