Surge Sports Advisory is our newest addition to the Garden State Surge Baseball Organization. We are focused on taking our success of our student athletes to the highest level. We will stand by each player as they enter this intense but exciting roller coaster ride of a process. Whether you are brand-new to the process, or have been working on your own and now feel the need for additional assistance, we understand and will customize a game plan to maximize the result you are looking for.  The athletic side to this equation is key, but other important aspects of the process which include academics, potential financial concerns, and any social aspects that may need to be discussed are given significant focus as well.  If you do your part which is excelling in the classroom, on the field and work hard each day to be a better person, then we will do our part. With your abilities on and off the field equipped with our relationships, guidance, and experience, we can assure you will increase your chances of reaching your future goals of playing baseball at the collegiate level. 

Jared Verebey and his staff have developed relationships with college coaches of all levels throughout the entire east coast as well as expanding to the Midwest and soon to be beyond. The focus of the advisory is not just baseball but helping each player find the best academic school they can attend using baseball as an extra push.  We also want to always make sure our families and of course our student athletes are happy through each stage of the ride. In other words, we assure that our clients understand every aspect of their own individual recruiting process and we are working towards a common goal. Remember: Making a decision on a college is a decision that can determine your future; a life-long decision. 

This process starts with a simple evaluation. Please contact Jared for further questions on the advisory or any additional questions you may have!
