The team was led by general manager Ryan Hopping and head coach Jorge Fernandez.

The Sacramento Surge participated in the 2013–14 United States Open Cup for Arena Soccer starting with a Round of 32 victory over the Yamhill County Crew of the Premier Arena Soccer League and a Round of 16 loss to the Bay Area Rosal in a match that doubled as a regular PASL season contest.

The Surge won the 1992 World Bowl but, shortly afterwards, WLAF operations in the United States were suspended and the team disbanded.

Sacramento was a Professional Arena Soccer League expansion team for the 2012–13 season and they struggled to find their footing on the field.

They placed last in the Pacific Division with a 2–14 record (and one of those wins a forfeit when the Tacoma Stars announced they would not travel for the final game of the regular season).
