Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands – Thursday, 25 June 2024: The Police Action League (PAL), a Basketball and Softball championship launches registration for boys and girls 10-16 years old. This league is a partnership between the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force, TCI Sports Commission, TCI Basketball Federation and the TCI Softball Association.
The Police Action League is more than just a tournament – it is a mentorship programme which elevates athletes. PAL, allows any boy or girl from all islands to play, building friendships, improving teamwork, earning communication skills and developing their prowess in their respective sports.

This year, the Boys’ Basketball age categories are 10-13-year-olds and 14-16-year-olds, with games played on Saturdays. This is a change from the three age groups 13U, 15U and 17U last year. The league will last 9 weeks.
For Girls Softball, there is one age category: girls 10-16 years old. Last year, the Avengers came out on top beating out the defending champions Badgers 22-20. This year the league will last 8 weeks.
PAL games are always energetic, and an opportunity for everyone to play while being mentored by their coaches.
