Registration for Port Washington Youth Activities (PYA) has begun. PYA, established in 1964, is the largest youth sports organization in Port Washington. This spring PYA is once again offering a full slate of sports for all boys and girls grades kindergarten through seventh grade, including baseball, softball, tennis, developmental lacrosse and roller 
hockey. Baseball, softball and lacrosse fields are located at the Lions Field complex at the end of Glen Lane, which features 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 two to seven 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. All players participating in the spring program are eligible to compete for the summer travel teams.
PYA is a nonprofit 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.
