The mission of the Pinellas Sheriff's Police Athletic League (PAL) is to offer the youth of Pinellas County alternatives to violence, gang involvement, and substance abuse. Our education, recreation, community service and sports programs serve as the foundation for the development of leadership skills, good citizenship and good sportsmanship. They also introduce opportunity, motivation and direction for the children. The Pinellas Sheriff's PAL serves all children even though our main target is the at-risk youth from a low-income to poverty level family. We offer recreation, sports and education through law enforcement. Our goal is to keep reaching out to as many children as we can so they may have the opportunity to have fun, grow, and learn from our programs.
