Bridgeport Caribe Youth Leaders Building Today’s Youth; Tomorrow’s Leaders

Empowering the next generation with sports, education and community programs.

In August 2003, Sam and John Torres established the Bridgeport Caribe Youth League (BCYL) in memory of their late father, Martin. Their goal was to provide children, especially the Latino children in the city of Bridgeport, with a dedicated activity in which they could participate and grow. Sam and John recruited a group of dedicated individuals to form a Board of Directors and the league’s first

baseball game was played on Saturday, May 1, 2004. In eight years BCYL has expanded the services offered to children in the Greater Bridgeport area to include sports, education and community programs. We currently serve over 500 children annually between the ages 5-18.Some of the services provided in the sports arena include baseball, fall baseball, basketball and baseball clinics, girls’ softball, basketball and cheerleading. In the area of education, we have a Power Reading Program, as well as an academy which prepares high school students for their SAT’s. In 2008 a high school and college scholarship program was established, and fives scholarships have been awarded to date. In the community arena, BCYL stresses the importance of giving back to the community. Various activities are held throughout the year to allow our children to experience the joy of giving and to emphasize the impact someone can make "Beyond the Game". BCYL is recognized for its desire to assist children in many facets other than sports, and for its family-like atmosphere.
