We are a not-for-profit organization composed of a small group of professionals in the field of education, who know the power of working with kids, and believe in giving back to our community. 

Having children of our own, and wanting to provide them with an affordable, yet valuable athletic experience, we came together with a common goal. 

We truly believe sports play a pivotal role in teaching a child life lessons they will carry with them through adulthood. We want to instill a lifelong love of sports into our athletes, opening doors to a myriad of opportunities in the future.  

At Southern Tier Surge Athletics, our mission is to empower young athletes to reach their full potential. 

Our vision is to provide a positive athletic experience for players, families and staff, while becoming a premier athletic program in the Greater Binghamton area. Our staff is here to mentor, guide and teach the skills necessary on the field, on the court, and in life. While the focus is on personal growth as an athlete, the power of sports is realized through true teamwork. Our coaches emphasize the importance of being a player among a larger team, and ultimately as a contributing member of our community. 

We believe in the power of sports to build character, instill discipline, and foster teamwork.

1. Character

   • Our athletes will be provided with experiences to expand their positive character traits and pursue good choices both inside, and outside, of the athletic arena.
     
     

2. Discipline

   • Our athletes will develop determination, and embrace the process of personal growth, in order to reach their goals. 

3. Teamwork

   • Our athletes will become collaborative team players, not only improving themselves but working towards a greater goal as a cohesive unit.
