For many families in Lone Oak, Spring Break means finding meaningful, safe and active opportunities for their children while school is out. This year, the Cypress Fairbanks ISD Police Department is once again stepping forward with a program designed to do just that — offering structured athletics and mentorship right here within the CFISD school community.

The 2026 Spring Break CFPALS (Cypress Fairbanks Police Athletic League) will take place March 9–12 at Arnold Middle School, located at 1111 Telge Road in Cypress, Texas 77429. The four-day athletic league invites students ages 9–15 to participate in organized football, soccer, basketball and volleyball from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday.

At a time when many parents are searching online for Spring Break camps in Cypress and Spring Break activities for kids in CFISD, the CFPALS program offers more than just recreation. It provides structured mentorship, skill-building and positive engagement with local law enforcement officers — something many parents in Lone Oak say they value during school holidays.

Building Skills Beyond the Game

The Cypress Fairbanks ISD Police Department Athletic League is centered on helping young people develop lifelong skills while staying active during school breaks. Through team sports, participants learn communication, leadership, discipline and sportsmanship — values that extend well beyond the court or field.

Programs like CFPALS are designed to strengthen the relationship between youth and law enforcement, creating an environment where officers serve not only as protectors of the community but also as coaches, mentors and role models. For families across Cypress, Bridgeland, Towne Lake and neighborhoods like Lone Oak within CFISD boundaries, that connection can be meaningful.

The league’s four featured sports — football, soccer, basketball and volleyball — allow students to explore different athletic interests in a supportive, team-based setting. Whether a child is trying a sport for the first time or already plays competitively, the program emphasizes growth, confidence and fun.
