About the barry carr sports leagues

Former BGCP Board Member Barry Carr consistently advocated for our teen members and recognized not every student fits into the same mold; thus the Barry Carr Sports Leagues were born! We aim to carry on Barry’s legacy by giving all students in our community access to sports and the benefits that accompany sports participation.

Our Goals

  • to provide additional program opportunities for our students to complement our academic and career readiness support

  • to build community by bringing together students and families around sports

  • to utilize sports to teach skills that transcend the playing field such as resilience, collaboration, conflict resolution and leadership (making those around them better)

Support of the BCSL will make a greater impact as BGCP expands our athletics programs to reach across San Mateo County, from Daly City to East Palo Alto.
