Goals/Philosophy

Our program was founded with the intent to help kids and young adults learn the game of baseball from former professional and collegiate players who have seen what it takes to develop and compete at a high level. We believe that the Giants Futures is a great outlet for kids to grow, not only as players but as people, and we take great pride in surrounding our players with high-character coaches. Our motto is Grow, Develop, COMPETE!

How has the program grown?

Our program has grown tremendously since it started in 2014. Starting from scratch and collecting high-character people and coaches to build a program was our main focus. Over the years our teams having continually gotten more competitive as we continue to acquire coaches and staff that know the game and how to connect with the younger generation. In the last few years we’ve brought home multiple AAU and EBL championships and we are looking forward to the inaugural season in the Premier Baseball Conference.

How has PBR been helpful?

PBR has been helpful for our players not only from a recruiting standpoint but by a development standpoint; allowing our players to see how they stack up as well as areas to work on to continue to grow and develop.

Plans Ahead

The Giants Futures are planning on playing in tournaments throughout the northeast like URI, Bryant, Firecracker, New England Baseball Complex, Northeast Select Prospect, Old Orchard Beach, and Army Team Camp.
