For more than 19 years the Worcester Police Gang Unit has run the PAAL Basketball League.  We at St. Bernard’s are happy to be able to partner with the league as we become the host site for the Fall/Spring sessions.

The league provides a safe and healthy venue for male youth to gather and play in an organized team sport to foster positive interaction between police and the participants.

The program runs two times a year for 14 week intervals. The games are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays 5-8p.m. 

The league is free and serves youth from ages 13-18.  There are at least two officers present with the teams to give instructions, but more importantly to serve as mentors.
