Testimonials

“Through PAL’s tackle and flag programs my son Brantley has learned communication skills, teamwork, following directions, peer support and stability and overall he has learned true friendship and family.”

“Five years ago, my husband and I signed our boys up for the PAL Boxing Program thinking it would be a temporary outlet—something to help them build confidence and burn off some energy. We never imagined that five years later, we would still be involved and that it would become such an important part of our family’s life.

Over time, the program has become so much more than just boxing for us. My husband is now one of the coaches, and I’ve proudly taken on the role of the team’s “boxing mom.” Watching our once shy and timid boys grow into confident, social, and motivated young athletes has been incredible. Their self-esteem has improved, they interact more easily with other kids, and we’ve even seen their grades improve as their discipline and focus have grown.”

“The SJSO PAL program has made a meaningful difference in the lives of our youth — not just as athletes, but as young men and women developing discipline, character, and purpose.”

 Mike Manchester, Former Coach/Current Parent

“Our experience with PAL Sports Program has truly been a blessing for our family. Since joining, my kids have not only grown as athletes but as confident, well-rounded individuals. PAL creates such a positive and encouraging environment that makes every child feel included and supported.”
