PYSC have decided to attempt another gallery option, to showcase what we do and what happens in and around the club.

Our aim is to utilize Plymouth's largest natural asset for young people, Plymouth Sound.

We are a young peoples water sports club providing competency, safety, supervision, social activities & for those who wish to take the sport further, development into racing & seamanship skills. Staffing is provided through assistance from volunteer adults & full time staff, but in time should be substantially managed by the membership themselves.

The focus of activity is towards junior & youth from the Sport England Priority Initiative Wards of inner city Plymouth.

To provide an opportunity for young people to maintain their interest and continue to develop their skills and confidence through youth work and adventurous water activities.

The club actively encourages young members of the community, regardless of age, gender, race or ability, to participate in watersports activities & to help them develop their personal & social skills through the medium of the outdoors
