The Dyker Heights Athletic Association Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose purpose and prime objective is to cherish, sustain and promote good citizenship, sportsmanship, loyalty, honesty and character for our youth.
Our organization has provided a new direction for our youth, starting with Baseball and girls softball in 1998. Quality coaches and leagues are already in place. Boys and girls from ages 5 to 14 are invited to register.
The association provides other sports activities and leagues, including NFL Flag Football, Basketball, and Indoor Soccer. We especially seek to provide organized, well-structured recreational opportunities for all the participants and we expect those persons selected as coaches to provide quality instruction. Our emphasis is on participation rather than competition. Adding structure and supervision builds character as well as self-esteem and self- respect. Remember our children are our future, so the more we help them, the more we help ourselves.
Our efforts have not simply been to “keep the kids busy” but rather to offer wholesome, organized athletic activities where young people could learn a sport, meet and work with other youth on a team basis, and challenge themselves to use their talents and abilities to mature more fully.
