Have your son or daughter be taught all the skill I taught my son over the years. Click on video below.

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 do 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 do 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 like 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 yelling at players 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.

 
Contact us anytime to try a session.
 
Thank you,
 
Coach Joe Tardif Sr.
