About Abington PAL
Our History and Today
The Police Athletic League (PAL) started in the 1910s when police officers had the insight to offer positive experiences for youth that involved law enforcement. These officers hoped that PAL would be a significant means to achieve this goal. Police involvement included supervision at athletic fields, classrooms, and playgrounds. PAL engaged the children and helped to identify police officers as friends.
Today, PAL has lived up to its expectations. More than 300 law enforcement agencies provide PAL services to 1.5 million youth, ages 5 to 18. These agencies are distributed in more than 700 cities encompassing 1,700 facilities throughout the United States and Canada, including the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
