Presented by:
Buffalo Police Athletic League (Buffalo PAL) launched the PLAYSTREETS program in the summer of 2020. This program is modeled after the New York City PAL PLAYSTREETS Program, which has been in existence in Manhattan’s Burroughs since the early 1900s. The PLAYSTREETS program is a mobile program; in which the Buffalo PAL Staff, coaches, and police officers travel to designated neighborhoods to provide youth with free sports sampling clinics and healthy snacks. Participating youth are provided the necessary equipment to play sports in the program such as tennis, flag football, and tennis. Buffalo PAL staff also promoted weekly fitness challenges through social media platforms.
The goals of Buffalo PAL’s PLAYSTREETS program are as follows:
