Program Overview
Brooklyn Friends School enjoys a long and successful sports tradition and an active athletics program with a high rate of student participation. Sports at BFS include
cross country, soccer volleyball, basketball, baseball, softball and
track. Our philosophy at the
Middle School level is that everyone who wants to play should have a chance to play. Fifth and sixth graders learn and practice sports together in the AM Sports program, and seventh and eighth graders participate in interscholastic team sports with other New York independent schools.
The Upper School has varsity and junior varsity levels of play in the New York City independent school leagues (Athletic Conference of Independent Schools, Boys/Girls Independent School Athletic League, Private School Athletic Association). Our soccer and volleyball teams have qualified for state competitions, and our basketball teams have won league titles as well as a state championship. The athletic program stresses the importance of teamwork and sportsmanship.
