PSAL
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Public Schools Athletic League, known by the acronym PSAL, is an organization that promotes student athletics in the public schools of New York City. It was founded in 1903 by Luther Gulick to provide and maintain official records for track and field and football for student-athletes enrolled in New York City public schools. The PSAL originally served as a league for boys, though it is now open to both boys and girls. PSAL holds competitions in a wide range of indoor and outdoor sports in fall, winter and spring seasons. In 2007, the league included 185 schools involving nearly 2,400 teams.
The mission of the Public Schools Athletic league is to provide opportunities for educating students in physical fitness, character development and socialization skills through an athletic program that fosters teamwork, discipline and sportsmanship.
Some notable coaches in the psal are William Lopez, Jack Dammon, and Robert Sprance.
