DPAL coordinates several athletic leagues through Durham Public Schools including soccer, basketball, and cheerleading. Participating schools have volunteers who serve as coaches, team managers, score keepers, and/or time keepers. Volunteers also consist of Durham Police Department Officers and non-sworn employees, parents, and community members. These volunteers attend weekly practices and games during the respective seasons. In addition, DPAL supports a baseball team and golf clinics through local community athletic associations and businesses.
