Gettin’ In The Game Junior National Championship
October 6 — 8, 2023
Henderson, Nevada
It gives us great pleasure to announce CSL Behring will once again be hosting the Gettin' in the Game Junior National Championship (JNC) this year. It has been 21 years since CSL Behring created the JNC, the first national, and currently the only, sports competition for children with bleeding disorders.
By popular demand, CSL Behring is excited to announce the addition of basketball to the 2023 JNC. Now participants will have the opportunity to choose from FOUR sports – baseball, basketball, golf, and swimming.
Participants will learn the fundamentals of their respective sport, participate in friendly competition, and have a chance to connect with fellow members of the bleeding disorders community from across the country. Additionally, educational seminars focusing on the importance of physical fitness and other related topics will be available on site.
We are inviting all bleeding disorders chapters throughout the United States to not miss the opportunity to nominate two children from their chapter to participate in the experience of a lifetime. This is a chance for children, ages 7 through 18, to represent the chapter during this national competition. Each participant will have the opportunity to choose baseball, basketball, golf, or swimming for this year's JNC.
If you have any questions about the 2023 JNC, please contact your local chapter.
Additional details about how your chapter can participate will be communicated shortly.
Sincerely,
CSL Behring
