2009 Junior National Championship Sponsored by CSL Behring

The CSL Behring Junior National Championship


The Gettin’ in the GameSM Junior National Championship (JNC), developed by CSL Behring, is a series of one-day athletic competitions that give children with bleeding disorders and their families the opportunity to enjoy competing in appropriate sports like golf and baseball. In so doing, the JNC program fosters genuine community connections as these children and their families meet and share experiences with one another.

The JNC encourages kids with bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia and von Willebrand disease, to be committed to physical activity to keep muscles healthy and joints strong. At Gettin’ in the GameSM events, members of the bleeding disorders community along with accomplished athletes offer participants support and information about the importance of remaining active and regularly connecting with their treatment provider to effectively manage their condition. Two accomplished athletes who have been diagnosed with hemophilia A, professional golfer Perry Parker and competitive baseball player Jesse Schrader, educate the kids and their families on the fundamentals of their respective sports as they provide guidance, advice and support encouraging youth to remain active while managing their condition.

CSL Behring is committed to connecting people with bleeding disorders to other members of the community who share their experiences. This commitment is shown through our innovative, high-quality programs, such as the Junior National Championship (JNC). It is also shown by the company’s range of safe and effective therapies used in the treatment of a variety of bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia and von Willebrand disease. Since the first JNC in 2002, CSL Behring has brought the competition to more than 30 markets throughout the US. This has helped nearly 1,000 competitors and their families connect with other members of the bleeding disorders community.

Gettin' in the GameSM


Put down the Xbox® and start Gettin’ in the GameSM!

Gettin' in the GameSM (GIG) was developed by CSL Behring to help kids with bleeding disorders play sports and get active. At local GIG events, kids and their families get sports tips from our national GIG athletes, participate in exercises, and meet other kids with bleeding disorders.

Our GIG athletes all have bleeding disorders, and they want to show kids how exercise and sports can build muscles—AND self-confidence. Meet the GIG athletes.

So get your game on! Learn more about GIG events or download a GIG fitness chart here.
