Lansing Police Athletic League
Kids, Cops, and Community
Who We Are: The Lansing Police Activity League (PAL) is a non profit organization operated by the Lansing Police Department officers together with the community to provide athletic, educational, and recreational activities for our local youth. Officers reach out to children in a positive way to show that cops are more than just law enforcement officers. We want to open the lines of communication, build trust and develop a positive relationship between our youth and the police officers.
What We Do: PAL touches hundreds of children throughout the year with the various programs that we offer. Currently we run our own Basketball league in the winter. We also collaborate with Lansing Parks & Recreation to provide Soccer and Flag Football. Some future goals include Golf, Baseball and Track & Field.

Having worked within our nations' legal community I can tell you this, just about every state has a PAL/ Police activity league. In Michigan, a state rich with boxing history, it is fairly easy to find, not only a PAL via your local police dept, but, also you can find youth boxing groups that cater to boxers as young as 7 years old. Emanuel Stewart is one of the legendary trainers who worked for many, many years, right out of Michigans famed Kronk gym. I actually got my start in formal athletics largely in part because of the PAL in my hometown. From there I went on the play middle school, high school, college, and ultimately professional sports. I am not saying that everyone who participates in PALs or youth boxing will become a pro, but, as was the case with me, growing up with my mother raising me and my brothers and sisters, my participation in youth boxing, PABA(progressive amateur boxing association), as well as PAL, ceratinly helped me in all aspects of life. Check with your local police, sherriff's office, YMCA, or, city parks department. You should be able to perform a yahoo search for Kronkboxing.com, Kronk Boxing, or, Bigboxingweb.com (and click on kidboxing). Bigboxing offers everything, stats, info, upcoming fights, trainers, schools, gyms, equipment, Everything. If you need a gym, or, a program, this is the easiest roadmap to it.
