LI Waves 12u went 4-0 this weekend in the Dan Trant tournament. Takes a while for a new team to come together but all these girls are buying into the fundamentals of the program. They are all coachable and great kids. We wont count medals or T-shirts here as our measure of success but rather there continued success in development but I’d say this group earned this shout out !!!

The Long Island Waves basketball program officially kicks off today with the 12 u playing in the prep girls northeast kickoff. It’s been a lot of fun but work getting this thing together and finally come to reality. Over 30 girls , and 3 teams in the program to start , here we are. I could not have done this without the support from my wife and kids, thank you so much for supporting me and believing in me . A special thank you to Rich and taleen krug , Dave hudzik, and especially my dad none of this is possible without him introducing me to this game ( didht have a choice lol) there was no one better to learn this game from then him , a nj high school coaches hall of fame inductee , a true teacher of the game he loves nothing better then a good motion offense and players that play defense like a bunch of junk yard dogs and that’s what I’ll teach every player that comes through this program and to be Coachable !!!!!
