Philadelphia Dragons

The Philadelphia Dragons Sports Association (PDSA), formerly known as the Taney Youth Baseball Association, is a Pennsylvania non-profit corporation created to provide youth baseball and tee ball to children ages 3 through 18.

PDSA is organized exclusively for charitable, literary, scientific, religious and educational purposes provided for under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. PDSA offers youth baseball, softball and tee ball in Philadelphia with its primary activities centered at FDR Fields (1500 Pattison Avenue), Markward (Taney) Recreation Center (Taney & Pine Streets), Palumbo Recreation Center (10th & Fitzwater Streets), Shot Tower Recreation Center (Front & Carpenter Streets), Columbus Square Recreation Center (12th & Wharton Streets), and Starr Garden Recreation Center (6th & Lombard Streets). PDSA also uses other Department of Recreation and private fields.

We are an instructional league, with an emphasis on teaching baseball fundamentals, good sportsmanship and teamwork over competition and wins and losses. We encourage all players to do their best, improve their skills, and be good teammates. 

Dragons Baseball, Flag Football, and Basketball are a wonderful opportunity to "give back" to your community while enjoying time with your child. We seek coaches who will help players develop a positive attitude about the game, teammates and opponents, and coaches and umpires. We invite parents to be a part of the Philadelphia Dragons community by coaching, sponsoring a team, or just helping out at practices or games.

No smoking or alcohol use is permitted at any games, practices or league activities.
