Athletics. BGCP provides a range of athletic activities from open gym to intramural leagues to external leagues. We emphasize sportsmanship and ensure that all members have equal opportunities to play.
BGCP recognizes the lack of athletic opportunities for the children in our community, and has created a variety of positive athletic experiences that prepare children for life on and off the field. All of our members, regardless of skill level, can participate in a variety of sports programs headed by trained coaches. Local schools use our gyms for PE classes during school hours. The children in our community are now happily playing, learning, and growing with our Open Gym play, League Play, and LifeSkills classes.
