STNY Flyers Mission Statement The Southern Tier Flyers is an AAU organization dedicated to promoting youth basketball at all age and skill levels. We have taken our name from the former Southern Tier semi-pro basketball team that once existed in our area. We strive to teach fundamentals, sportsmanship, teamwork, and the spirit of competition. Our organization is community supported and covers the entire Southern Tier of New York. With time, and the help of our volunteer staff, we hope to field competitive teams at the local, state, regional, and national levels."
