Spring registration underway at PYA

The Island Now

Port Washington Youth Activities (PYA) has announced its 2016 spring sports season registration is underway. 

Please sign up now as teams are being formed. 

Established in 1964, PYA is the largest youth sports organization in Port Washington and is one of the best run youth sports programs on Long Island.   

This spring PYA is once again offering a full slate of sports for all boys and girls ages Kindergarten to 7th grade. Included are baseball, softball, tennis, developmental lacrosse, and roller hockey. The PYA baseball, softball, and lacrosse fields, located at the Lions Field complex at the end of Glen Lane in Port Washington feature one of the finest natural grass outdoor playing facilities in Nassau County.   

The roller hockey program takes place at the Manorhaven Park Roller Hockey rink. PYA Tennis is run indoors at the Port Washington Tennis Academy on Harbor Road.

PYA operates the only Little League sanctioned baseball and softball programs in town. PYA softball grades 2 to 7 will participate in a local league by age group with games played at Lion’s Field and surrounding towns. PYA proudly abides by Little League policies including background checks for its volunteers and coaches.  

The organization also has a Little League-approved safety plan in place for its facilities as PYA feels that parents should accept only the best and safest program for their children. All players participating in the spring program are eligible to compete for the summer travel teams.   

Further information, applications, and on-line registration with credit card payment can be found at www.pyasports.org under the “Sports” heading.   

Application forms are also available at Arena Sports Center, 52 Main Street, and Gail’s Shoes, 9 Main Street.   

For additional information you can also call PYA at 516-944-7921.  Please be aware that registrations for certain sports are subject to deadlines so PYA recommends a child is signed up for their spring sport(s) as soon as possible so you are not closed out.   

PYA is a non-profit, 501(c) (3), Better Business Bureau accredited, charitable organization formed to promote the exemplary development of local youth through participation in sports.  PYA teaches teamwork and individual responsibility in an atmosphere of respect and sportsmanship.  Visit PYA at www.pyasports.org
