BGS Rec Program Goals
The Burlingame Girls Softball (BGS) Rec program is designed to promote growth in body, mind and spirit. BGS encourages participation through family involvement, low-level competition and an emphasis on fun, safety, teamwork, fair play and skill development. The goals and objectives of BGS are listed below:
1. Fun - Every participant is having fun. To help ensure this, we make sure that everyone plays and plays fair. We focus on teamwork, skills development and fun, instead of win and loss records.
2. Friends & Family - BGS programs are also designed for children to either play on the same team as friends or make new ones. Playing on a team is a great way to get to know other kids and parents. Our program also give parents the opportunity to coach their children and enjoy sports as a family.
3. Fundamentals - BGS focuses on fundamentals. Our Leagues are instructional leagues, which means that while your child is involved, they will not only learn the rules of the game, but will also learn fundamental skills necessary to play that game.
Character Counts
BGS believes character development is just as important as skills development. As such the actions and communications of coaches and players will be consistent with our four core values:
Caring - Be kind and caring; treat others the way you want to be treated. Consider others’ feelings.
Honesty - Be honest with others; act so people can trust you.
Respect - Treat yourself and others with respect. Be polite, positive and encouraging.
Responsibility - Take responsibility for your actions. Set a good example in everything you do.
These core values are at the heart of the experience BGS is working to create, all in the spirit of fun.
