Questions:
Do you ever wonder why you are paying a great deal of money for your son or daughter to play AAU basketball and that other players may be playing for free because they are "Better" than your child?

Do you sometimes feel you are subsidizing and paying for other players that get more practice time and playing time than your child?

Answer: You probably are.

That is not our approach at the MvEagles basketball program.

Fall 2019 AAU
Tryout Information 
 We know that many of you are attending tryouts for other AAU programs for their spring AAU.
Before you commit and are required to pay a significant nonrefundable payment to play for their program come to one of our clinics.
We do not require players to attend a traditional tryout that is primarily scrimmages. Scrimmages that no one passes the ball to your son or daughter. How can someone truly evaluate a player?  We evaluate players at our clinics that are primarily skills and the players receive a workout while learning something.
Before you pay that deposit check us out.

Message from Coach Tardif
It is our focus at the Merrimack Valley Eagles Basketball Program to provide the very best opportunity for all players to improve their basketball skills and confidence while enjoying our program.
We attempt to this by providing the very best coaches that care about all players and teaching them the skills needed to become a better player. 
It has been our experience what often happens is that the players that develop physically quicker than others their age tend to dominate at a younger age. But, as all the other kids grow and mature many of the players that were bigger, faster and stronger at an earlier age often to not grow while others catch them in size and often surpass them. 
How do you prevent this? Skills! Have your son or daughter become the best skills player they can become regardless of their size. 
How frustrating is it for a parent to watch their son or daughter make the same mistake over and over again in games? Why does this happen? 
This happens because players do not practice basketball skills enough and just play in games. It is having your son or daughter take exams in school without studying. 
  • We treat players individually
  • We do not prejudge a player looking at their physical size and then label them  to become a player of a certain position
    • “Oh you are tall, you only get the rebound and pass it to other players”
    • “Don’t shoot the ball pass it to someone else”
    • “Don’t dribble pass it to someone else”
  • No yelling, screaming, belittling coaches here. I believe that all that yelling is to cover up for the coaches’ inadequacies and mistakes.
  • We motivate, encourage and challenge players to become the best player than can.
  • We are the best program to help all coaches; high school, travel and in-house because we teach the players the concept of the game and how to play the game. Not just plays that they will never use in their school games.
  • Yes if you are wondering we are different.  
Thank you, 
Coach Joe Tardif Sr.
