The next public general meeting will be held at the PAL/ Community Center Meeting Room on August 27th at 8:00PM. Everyone is invited to attend! Get involved! ! THE PAL Soccer and Basketball Programs would like to thank the following sponsors for a very successful Golf Outing!
Summer Soccer is in full effect! Weather Reminders! Why? Someone asked why we had to get the kids off of the field when there was only thunder. Please read the information below from NOAA concerning the danger of lightning. In addition, we are not permitted to re-enter the field for 30 minutes from the last thunder or lightning. This means everytime we see or hear it, the 30 minute clock restarts. ►All thunderstorms produce lightning and are dangerous. In an average year, lightning kills more people in the U.S. than either tornadoes or hurricanes. ►Lightning often strikes outside the area of heavy rain and may strike as far as 10 miles from any rainfall. Many deaths from lightning occur ahead of storms because people wait too long before seeking shelter, or after storms because people return outside too soon. ►If you hear thunder, you are in danger. Anytime thunder is heard, the thunderstorm is close enough to pose an immediate lightning threat to your location. ►Lightning leaves many victims with permanent disabilities. While only a small percentage of lightning strike victims die, many survivors must learn to live with very serious, lifelong disabilities.  Fast FactsA concussion is a brain injury and all are serious.Most concussions occur without loss of consciousness.
Recognition and proper response to concussions when they first occur can help prevent further injury or even death. The Lincoln Park PALrequires all coaches to complete a free online course to help better recognize and understand concussions. The course can be taken at www.cdc.gov/concussion
