New PAL Youth Boxing Program Taking Registration In Bucks County

BUCKS COUNTY, PA — Registration is now open for young boys and girls in Bucks County (ages 11-17) to join the newly created Police Athletic League Boxing Program at Joe Hand Gym in Feasterville on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 until 6 p.m.

The free program is designed to support young people who may benefit from additional mentorship, structure, and positive outlets while providing a safe and welcoming environment where they can learn valuable life skills.

Interested participants should contact PALprogram@joehandpromotions.com or visit joehandgym.com.

The collaborative initiative will offer a positive, structured environment where young people can develop discipline, confidence, self-esteem, and healthy lifestyles through the sport of boxing while fostering meaningful relationships with local law enforcement officers.

PAL Boxing Program is the result of a new partnership between the Bucks County Chiefs of Police Association and the Joe Hand Boxing Gym. Penn Community Bank Foundation is a proud sponsor of the program.

"For nearly three decades, the Joe Hand Boxing Gym has served as a place where young people can learn discipline, accountability, and perseverance in a supportive environment," said Joe Hand Jr., Chairman of the Joe Hand Boxing Gym. "We are honored to partner with the Bucks County Chiefs of Police Association to continue providing opportunities that help young people grow both inside and outside of the gym. We believe boxing can be a powerful vehicle for mentorship, confidence-building, and personal development, and we look forward to positively impacting even more families throughout Bucks County."

Each class session will focus on fundamental boxing skills, conditioning, teamwork, and character development in a safe, non-contact or controlled-contact setting. Participants will have the opportunity to train alongside experienced coaches and interact with law enforcement officers who are committed to serving as mentors and positive role models.
