About the Provider

Description: The Howell Township Police Athletic League's mission in our community is to give every child the opportunity to participate in everyday childhood activities in a safe and caring environment.

We do this through a number of programs. Our goal is to provide diversity in our program in order to reach the greatest number of young people.

We also strive to foster a partnership between the youth and the police officers in the community. This in and of itself is a tremendous asset to our community. Whenever you have young people in the community playing and working with police officers, the community will benefit.

PAL is a non-profit organization that offers children in Howell the opportunity to participate in youth sports.

Our sports mission is to organize and develop highly competitive PAL teams comprised of players from the Howell area and its surrounding communities. We expect to provide our players with dedicated, experienced coaching that will not only teach the physical aspects of each sport, but also a deeper understanding of how to play the games while maintaining high standards of excellence, promoting good sportsmanship, teamwork, and respect for the individual.

The goal of the PAL program is for every player to get the most out of his/her sporting experience by having fun, developing sound skill, and working within a team-oriented culture that fosters a winning attitude. We expect to teach them the fundamentals of our sports programs, while helping them constantly challenge themselves to achieve, improve, progress, and learn. Each person that joins the PAL accepts the commitment to become the best that they can possibly be.

We look forward to a great year and we encourage all parents to be as involved as possible to help make this a positive experience for your child. PAL parents should set the standard for good sportsmanship and encouragement at all times. We expect the kids to play hard at all times, to work together and to have FUN playing all sports!
