Finding the right program for your child
Our programs are designed for every age and skill level. Kindergarten through 2nd graders start with Little Ballers, while travel basketball teams welcome players from grades 5–8. Softball, cheerleading, duckpin bowling, and our Summer Fun Camp provide opportunities for kids up to age 18.
Seasons at a glance
PAL runs year-round programs: fall softball leagues, winter basketball sessions, spring clinics, and summer camps. Each season includes registration deadlines and program schedules, listed on our calendar for easy planning.
Seasonal Checklists
Stay prepared for every season
Each season comes with its own rhythm. In fall, outdoor softball often requires extra layers; in winter, gym time is busy with basketball and cheer; spring features clinics and training sessions; summer camp means sunscreen, swimsuits, and packed lunches. Our seasonal guides help families stay ahead so kids can focus on enjoying their activities.
