Police and Community Youth Clubs (PCYC) originated in Sydney, Australia on 1 April 1937.[1] They were originally known as the "Police Rotary Youth Club",[1] and later, "Police Boy's Clubs". There are currently 59 clubs in New South Wales.

History

The organisation is community-based and involves the provision of low-cost structured activities to children and adults, aimed specifically at the underprivileged persons in the community.

The clubs contain a wide variety of sports such as basketball, indoor soccer, weightlifting gyms, dancing, wrestling/grappling, boxing, martial arts and many other activities and hobbies. Different clubs may have different activities going on to one another.
