If you are looking for a good workout, our boxing program will provide it. In our Olympic-style boxing program, a typical workout includes calisthenics, strength and agility as well as endurance training. Some members choose to participate in competition to win medals and trophies. Others come for the workout, friendship and to be part of the team. Students are taught that any boxing outside of the gym will result in disciplinary action. After all, they have nothing to prove outside of the ring. Coordinator: Bill Corbett (772) 398-9436 after 4 p.m.

The PAL Youth Directors program is designed for young people ages 12 through 16 who are aspiring leaders in the community. Participants in the program desire to give back to their community by performing service and developing skills that will better their lives and affect positive change. Participants gain an appreciation for community service, its positive results, and its importance to Port St. Lucie and the country.
When participants serve their communities, their good deeds are beneficial to the people they help, and also to the youth themselves. When many hands work together, much gets accomplished. The PAL Youth Directors recognize this as they pool their talents and skills for the local and regional projects in which they participate.
Each year, program participants are expected to:
1.Attend 6 local meetings at the Police Athletic League facility. Meetings will be held once a month at a time decided upon by the group. Special meetings will be held as necessary.
2.Attend 3 regional meetings throughout east-central Florida
3.Participate in 4 local community service projects
4.Participate in 3 regional community service projects
Participants must also complete a program application, sign a release of liability form and code of conduct, and provide proof of birth and a color photo. There may be a small cost for some activities, such as CPR training, first aid training, etc.
Youth Directors who complete these and other requirements set forth by the State of Florida Association of Police Athletic/Activities Leagues are eligible to attend the annual Youth Directors Conference at Walt Disney World Resort held in January of each year. This four day-three night event provides additional training and seminars to develop leadership skills, as well as opportunities to enjoy the Disney complex.
For more information about the Youth Directors Program, please contact:
Officer Rich Wilson, Executive Director (772) 398-9436
Tom Filipkowski, President, Board of Directors (772) 878-9428

PAL Fishing Clinics are conducted approximately every six weeks at the lake behind the PAL Gym. Volunteers from the Savanna Club Fishing Club look forward to working with youth ages 6 to 12 to teach them the basics of fishing and the tricks for landing the big one.
Each clinic starts with knot tying lessons before the group moves outside to catch and release some fish from the lake. There is no charge for the clinic, although donations are accepted.

| FISH HAVE NO CHANCE AT PAL FISHING CLINIC - Monday, March 15, 2010Every six weeks, PAL sponsors a Fishing Clinic at the lake behind the PAL gym. Volunteers from the Savanna Club Fishing Club teach boys and girls how to tie knots, how to cast, how to bring in the big fish, and, most of all, patience.
The latest clinic was held on Saturday, March 13 when sixteen area youth challenged the fish in the lake. Drew Laun won a new tackle box for catching the first fish of the day, and Jessica Byrd won a box of fishing supplies by catching the biggest fish – a nice bass that easily outweighed any of the other fish that were caught.
The next PAL Fishing Clinic is scheduled for Saturday, May 1 at 8:00 am. For more information, please contact PAL at 398-9436.

| 300 Dahoon holy and Maple trees planted in Port St. Lucie - Monday, March 01, 2010On February 27, the Port St. Lucie Public Works Department, the Keep Port St. Lucie Beautiful Program, and the Police Athletic League teamed up to provide a great community service project for 55 teens from PAL chapters in the east central region.
After clearing dead vegetation from an area along south Green River Parkway, the city provided 300 new Dahoon holly and maple trees to be planted in the area. The trees were delivered early in the morning, with ten groups of thirty trees ready to be planted. By 10:00 am, teens from the Youth Directors Programs were hard at work putting the trees in designated areas.
Youth Directors chapters represented in the project were from the Brevard County Sheriff's Office, Palm Bay PAL, Satellite Beach PAL, West Melbourne PAL, Fort Pierce PAL, and Port St. Lucie PAL.
After the last tree was planted, participants met back at the PAL building on Tiffany Avenue for a meeting, a chance to socialize, and a well-deserved lunch. A similar project to plant 250 more trees is planned in March.
Youth Directors from six Police Athletic League chapters worked together to plant 300 Dahoon holly and maple trees in Port St. Lucie. |
