Bringing together, and keeping together a group of players that represent their home town is not a waste of time, PAL teaches our youth how to love the game in an environment that encourages, guides and inspires, PAL helps grow the game. I wouldn't trade one moment of watching my son play for his town team, or consider what he learned, and applied both on the field and off the field as a waste of time.............It is refreshing to feel that there is still a venue to play in that embraces more than winning............stay humble
