Youth Sports
The youth sports provided by PAL can be further divided into three sub-categories:

• Leisure Activities encompass a wide range of activities such as playing pool in the game room to intramural basketball in the gymnasium. All activities are directed toward teaching the children life management skills.
• Instructional Sports encompass activities that are designed to introduce a child to a new sport such as baseball, soccer, tennis, or golf. Initially, participants are taught the fundamental rules of these games and then they are given instruction regarding the various techniques used to execute play.
• Competitive Sports encompasses activities, which allow participants to become a part of a team that competes against other teams in the community, around the city, and throughout the entire state. Depending upon the level of interest, PAL may have as many as twelve different basketball teams at one time.
