BLS Athletics

MISSION: BLS Athletics is a student-run organization that seeks to create a more inclusive and social environment within the legal profession by providing a platform for social interactions. The organization aims to help students build connections, form bonds, and foster a sense of unity within the student body beyond their common identity as law students. As an organization, we have two primary goals: 

• Help students achieve better mental health through physical activity. 
• Help students meet each other in a more casual, social setting where bonds can be formed, and the student body can be better united in something more personal other than their status as law students. 

ALUMNI: BLS Athletics aims to extend its impact beyond current students by bridging the gap between alumni and current students. By organizing events and activities that bring together individuals from different cohorts, the organization seeks to create a robust network that spans across generations. This initiative contributes to the building of a supportive community where experiences are shared, mentorship opportunities arise, and a sense of camaraderie endures, strengthening the ties that bind the broader Brooklyn Law School community.

PLEASE SUPPORT BLS ATHLETICS: BLS Athletics sponsors provide us with the financial resources necessary to host events throughout the year and enter various sports tournaments.

As mentioned, our organization puts on various events throughout the calendar year including indoor soccer events, kickball and dodgeball games, bowling events, basketball tournaments, and softball scrimmages against other NYC schools. Further, BLS Athletics sends team annually to participate in the annual University of Virginia Law School Softball tournament which has been running for 40 years now. There, dozens of regional schools compete among over 50 teams. It is our passion to continue offering these opportunities for students which is why we are asking for your donation today.

During the 2023-2024 school year, our programming includes:

• Soccer leagues
• Softball leagues and practice weekends
• Bowling Nights
• Turkey Bowl (Thanksgiving Flag Football)
• Basketball Tournaments
• Super Bowl (Flag Football game)
• Trivia Nights
• UVA Annual Softball Tournament
• Batting Cage practices
