The American Youth Football League & The Police Athletic League was conceived with a simple but powerful goal in mind: to help the youth by establishing a comprehensive sports league where young people may play sports, and by doing so, develop crucial skills in teamwork, competition, sportsmanship and friendship.  We don’t just offer an opportunity for kids to perform consistent physical exercise, we give them platforms to learn teamwork and build important connections that benefit everybody involved.  The lessons our participants learn are ones they keep with them throughout their lives.  We aim to further sportsmanship and honor among children in a competitive atmosphere, making sure no child or young adult is left behind or made to feel out of place.  Simply put, the AYF.PAL is a safe home for youngsters to learn, grow and develop their social and athletic skills.
