Whether it’s sports like basketball, soccer, or tennis, or educational offerings such as chess, homework or computer clubs, or any one of the dozens of field trips offered in a given year, PAL’s programming has a common element which amplifies its impact: caring and committed Philadelphia Police Officers.

PAL Officers are a part of the fabric of the communities they serve. Our ability to create unique impact lies in the relationships forged among police officers, children, families, and their communities.

The Police Athletic League of Philadelphia was founded in 1947 to offer sandlot baseball to the youth of North Philadelphia. At the time, PAL consisted of one Sergeant with a vision and a team of neighborhood kids who were willing to play ball. Since its inception, PAL has worked to build positive relationships between youth, the communities in which they live, and the dedicated men and women of the Philadelphia Police Department. During the intervening years, tens-of-thousands of children have gone to their neighborhood PAL Center to escape the dangers of the streets, play organized sports, and engage in a variety of educational and cultural activities.
