About
Founded in 1958, the Miami Beach Police Athletic League (oldest PAL in Florida) has an impressive track record as a community crime prevention program.
Under the leadership of a full-time police officer as Executive Director, and with vital assistance from a volunteer board made up of citizens and local law enforcement officers, PAL offers the youth of the community an array of recreational, athletic and educational activities. Programs are designed with a two-fold purpose: to create better relations between law enforcement officers and youth, and to prevent juvenile delinquency.
For almost 50 years, thousands of youths (ages six to twenty-one) have been involved with PAL programs.
Many former PAL participants have become accountants, attorneys, doctors, educators, fire fighters, police officers, and professional athletes, just to name a few.

Do you have a volunteer program?? I am very interested in participating if so. Have a great day!!!
I did my college internship with PAL of Philadelphia. I spent a semester as a recreation coordinator. I set up pool tournaments, ping pong tournaments and an age grouped basketball league and contests such as foul shooting and skills drills. I also supervised day to day activities.
I work a pretty demanding job but would like to find a way to get back involved with my local PAL in south beach.
Please send me info on whom I should speak with and/or how I could get involved.
Do you have a youth softball or baseball team. With so many of the local children in and out of the area for seasonal visits, I would like to see a league the children could be a part of for the time they are in town.
Please advise how we can do this.Glad to assist in set up, etc.
