As the year comes to an end, it’s time to celebrate how far the Granton Giants have come in 2024 with wins for our juniors and a brand new adult squad.
JUNIOR SQUAD GET THE W!
2024 has been a year of firsts for the club. Our junior teams took part in their second ever competition, but their first with full Giants kit!, and won the clubs first ever games. The players on court showed a great understanding of the game and really put their training to work to play together as a team and get those wins! The coaches are incredibly proud of everyone who took part and look forward to more competitive games in the New Year.
ADULT SQUAD LAUNCHES
2024 Saw the start of our adult team and in the six months our squad has been active we have introduced around 30 folk to dodgeball. Not all of these folks have stayed with the club but we will be sending out a wee message to see if we can haste some of ye back in the New Year.
2024 also saw the club debut in the Scottish regional league, a development league to give teams a chance to introduce players to the sport, and although our new team didn't pick up any wins there were some great games and great plays from our recently blooded players.
2025 PLANS AND AIMS
The 2025 recruitment drive starts today! We want to build numbers to help us mount a competitive squad for the upcoming Scottish league and build our adult squad numbers to a sustainable level.
If you are thinking of becoming a GIANT there literally has never been a better time!
We want to establish our adult team as a fixture on the Scottish competitive dodgeball scene and grow our junior section. In the hope we could run two teams at each age level and potentially see if that might be enough for a junior league with the other teams in Scotland.
We will also be starting Scotlands first recreational dodgeball league in 2025... Watch this space for more details.
