The Adams Police Athletic League, also known as “PAL,” is an organized basketball league founded in 1952 as a juvenile crime prevention program. The Adams PAL program serves children from Adams and Cheshire, Massachusetts and the surrounding community. The PAL organization is led by the Adams Police Department, organized by a volunteer board of directors and operated by dozens of community volunteers. Over 250 children in grades PreSchool-8 participate in league activities from October through March each year.
