PAL ? I thought that was over in the 6th grade.


PAL offers it through 8th grade - a lot if towns don't field teams because of school and club commitments, but if enough kids want more time, their town will do it. It essentially becomes a game-only obligation - no kid wants to practice with their PAL team after their school practices. And if it's all school kids, then they already are practicing together at school. My older son's team for 7th and 8th grade had 1/3 private school kids - they still didn't practice, but almost every one if them plays club and they've all been playing PAL together for years. Regardless, it's much more recreational at 7th and 8th grade.
