PAL BUSY AND ON A ROLL

The Boynton Beach Police Athletic League has been very busy and very successful.

The 10 and under Boynton Hoops Ballers concluded a great season going 18 - 1 and winning many tournaments and games. They are ranked #1 in their age group in Florida and #2 nationally. They have made Boynton Beach proud! The parents and coaches as well as Police have worked hard to raise the funds to make it possible. Special thanks to Vice Mayor Woodrow Hay for a donation he made of $1,000.00 to help pay for travel.

PAL has over 600 children involved in programs from basketball to football to cheerleading. They have all done so well and it is a place where academics and athletics are encouraged. Many participants and families view it as a way of making life better.

Tip off for 1st game is 6p.m. on August 7th . The Classic will run through Sunday August 9. There will be 4 divisions. 13 & under, 15 & under,17 & under and 19 & under.
