The Major Goal of RPAL

RPAL’s goal is to reach out and enrich the lives of the youth of Roseville.  We strive to provide safe and supervised environments for recreational, athletic, social, educational, and cultural activities.  We provide a variety of programs that appeal to the widely different interests of children, to help build meaningful relationships between the youth and Police Officers.  All RPAL programs and events are low cost, or free, to avoid the exclusion of any children due to family income.  

A Brief History of RPAL.

RPAL was founded in 1972, as a fund raising group for Roseville youth sports teams.  Little League and Bobby Sox baseball teams were the first groups to receive RPAL assistance.  Any participation by Police Officers was limited to occasional coaching.  In 1993, three officers decided to raise RPAL to the next level and started the RPAL Boxing Program. 

Since then, RPAL has sponsored many diverse programs in the attempts to enrich the lives of Roseville youth.  RPAL’s utilizes  the California Children’s Outdoor Bill of Rights adopted by the California Round Table on Recreation, Parks and Tourism because of recent concerns about youth detachment from outdoor activities, lack of physical exercise and increased health risks.  Numerous studies document that children who participate in these activities are healthier, do better in school, have better social skills and self-image, and lead more fulfilled lives. We now participate in swimming, kayaking, white water kayaking, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, paint ball, track and field, day camps, camping and more,
