"Cops for Kids"

The Scotch Plains Police Athletic League (PAL) was founded in 1991 as a volunteer organization.  PAL aims to develop a friendly relationship between the youngster and the police officer and develop a spirit of cooperation for respect of the law.

Our Mission

We are committed to ensuring that our organization is operated with the emphasis on skill development,personal growth, and enjoyment.  We encourage academic excellence, respect for others, discipline, teamwork,and good sportsmanship.  Our Goal is to provide the largest number of pre-high school aged youth with a positive experience in the game of football.
 

What we do

The activities offered are physical, cultural and social.   There is an emphasis placed upon developing good

physical fitness for all football and cheerleading activities.  The full contact squads are traveling teams and the

players and cheerleaders are expected to provide their own transportation to and from all games and official

events.  All of the coaches and assistants are volunteers (must complete the Rutgers sports safety program).

There are fund raising activities each year to help abate the costs of equipment, field maintenance, and

administrative costs in support of the program.

How it works

There are three programs available; Flag Football, Full Contact Football, and Cheerleading.  The Flag program is

open to boys and girls through the 4th Grade level.  The Full Contact program is open to boys and girls through

the 8th Grade level and has five groups based upon age and weight limits.  The Cheerleading program currently

has three squads and starts at the 5th Grade level.

The Full Contact program follows the rules and regulations of the NJ Suburban Youth Football League.  The most

significant rules affect the eligibility of the players and provide a more flexible program for allowing boys of

similar age to play and compete together.  In addition to the basic age breakdown for each group, a weight limit is

set for backfield players and ends (all primary ball handlers) in order to protect other players from collisions

caused by faster and larger players of the same basic age group.  For additional detailed information about the

programs, please follow the links to the left to locate your specific area of interest.  If you require further
