About

Welcome to

Fort Hunt Sports

Fort Hunt Youth Athletic Association (FHYAA) was established in 1959 to serve the youth of Fort Hunt and the surrounding communities. Our mission is to provide children up to 18 years of age the opportunity to experience recreational sports in an atmosphere that encourages and promotes teamwork, friendships, and self-confidence, in a positive, safe and supportive environment. We strive to teach proper sports fundamentals, strategies, and good sportsmanship, which empowers our young athletes to become responsible citizens.

FHYAA is a nonprofit organization driven by volunteer members who serve in various capacities. We recognize that without our volunteers we could not function. We are thankful for and proud of the extensive network of community members that volunteer their time and effort to serve as coaches for our teams, Commissioners and Board Members for individual sports, as well as Board Members for FHYAA.

FHYAA currently supports Softball, Baseball, Lacrosse, Basketball, Rugby, Volleyball, Football, and Cheerleading.

The FHYAA Board of Directors is dedicated to improving our sports programs and expanding the opportunities we provide for the children in our community.
