About Us
"BUILDING THE FUTURE EMPIRE GENERATION OF ATHLETE"
Empire Athletics is a youth sports organization based in the New York area. Our goal is to mold the future empire generation into hard-working, coachable individuals by providing a high quality coaching and training experience for our athletes.
At Empire, we focus on the six pillars of excellence: Effort, Maturity, Passion, Integrity, Respect, and Enthusiasm.
Through training, our coaches will teach lessons that extend well beyond the field/court. We aim to build the future generation of athletes who share their love for the game with everyone they interact with.
We currently offer year-round Basketball, Softball, and Performance training programs.
