Milford Youth Athletics

What Milford Youth Athletics does

Milford Youth Athletics is a community-based nonprofit organization founded in 2020 in Milford, New York, that operates organized youth sports programs in baseball, softball, basketball, and (planned for 2025) soccer. Its stated mission is to empower local youth by providing safe, positive athletic experiences that build skills for adulthood. Programs are governed by an all-volunteer board of directors led by President Russ Langford and supported by committees for each sport, with day-to-day operations reliant on volunteer coaches and parent involvement.

The organization runs a flat-fee registration model ($35 per participant through March 15, with a $35 late fee thereafter) and processes sign-ups through the Sports Connect platform operated by Stack Sports. Ancillary revenue is generated from a concessions stand, fundraising activities (Easter Pie Sale, apparel sales, Krispy Kreme and candy bar sales), a small grants stream from bodies such as the Otsego County Youth Association, and an online merchandise operation (the Wildcat Store via BSN Sports' Sideline Store and a secondary Blue Sombrero storefront). Marketing and community outreach are conducted primarily through the organization's website, its Facebook page, and a network of roughly 25 local business sponsors including NBT Bank, NYCM Insurance, Brooks BBQ, and Country Club Motors.

Underlying technology is limited to standard nonprofit SaaS: registration and member management via Sports Connect/Stack Sports and e-commerce via Blue Sombrero and BSN Sports. No proprietary platform, AI/ML capabilities, patents, or licensed technology is disclosed. The organization is currently seeking to acquire additional land to expand practice capacity, having outgrown its existing small baseball field. No audited revenue, employee headcount, or participant totals are publicly disclosed; the only financial datapoints available are treasury account balances of approximately $33,000–$34,700 during early 2024.
