The PYFHA was founded in 2006 to provide opportunities for competitive field hockey on the peninsula, in the Hampton Roads region of southeastern Virginia. The Club is a select group of young ladies who exhibit the highest qualities of dedication, sportsmanship, hockey knowledge and skills appropriate for their age group. The club fields teams of U-12, U-14, U-16 and U-19 for young ladies in local, regional and national tournaments (including major college recruiting events) and features experienced coaches at all levels. The club operates during the off-season of VHSL field hockey, which typically runs from mid August to early November. Girls are encouraged to honor their school affiliations during the VHSL season.
