Kansas City, MO Police Athletic League - Speed and Agility Clinic
0 Comments Published by Melissa Thoenen on Thursday, April 24, 2008 at 3:46 PM.
The Police Athletic League of Kansas City (PAL) is a program that the KC Police Department started in hopes to make a positive connection between the local police department and youth in the community. It is anticipated that these relationships between the officers and the children will eventually create upstanding and successful members of society.
At the various events that the PAL program hosts, the children are taught and encouraged to trust, respect and have confidence in themselves and those who are there to protect their community. With the slogan of Cops and Kids, Part of the Solution, it is obvious that the youth of Kansas City are the heart and hope of a successful community in the future; for the Kansas City Police Department.
There are currently four PAL centers that are ran by numerous volunteers and members of the KCPD. Activities that encourage positive physical and mental participation that promote leadership and accountability are held at these centers. Different special events and activities involve golf tournaments, basketball tournaments, a drill team as well as many other fun and positive programs that actively involve the youth of Kansas City.
A specific example of an event PAL has put on is a clinic they held on April 5, 2008. This clinic was focused on speed and agility training for student athletes of all ages and sports. There were many professional athlete guests that were actively involved with the young athletes throughout the day. These guests included J.J. Smith & Kevin Lockett (Kansas City Chiefs), Ian Moses (San Diego Chargers), Logan Tillis (Atlanta Falcons), Major Jan Blackmore (U.S. Army, West Pointe), Damion McIntosh (Kansas City Chiefs) and Jon McGraw (Kansas City Chiefs), and the very special guest speaker Coach Bill Snyder (Head Football Coach of Kansas State University 1989-2005). With the incredible support of these local heroes, the Kansas City Police Department was able to give KCs athletic youth the experience of a lifetime. The clinic was held at the Kansa City, Missouri Police Departments Regional Training Academy. The entire day was based around different drills and maneuvers that tested the strength (mentally and physically) of the children. The intentions of the exercises were to teach the children different forms and techniques that would strengthen their agility and quickness as well as improving their overall fitness levels.
With events such as the Speed and Agility Clinic, PAL is sure to continue their success in furthering the success of the children in Kansas City. PAL is always looking for willing volunteers and donors.
