Anyone has any experience with this place? I'm thinking about sending my two kids there to get them started with learning how to play basketball.

Basketball sucks

I've heard good things, especially for younger kids.

If that's Charles Tracy's place then great rep

Charles teaches good fundamentals. Ball handling, passing, and defense. He won't baby the kids.

Facility sucks. Had a kid play AAU tourney there last year. They play ball on a tile court.
You heard that right. Tile.

As long as the tiles aren't popping up and injuring kids, which I doubt that they are, then I don't have a problem with it.
I'm more concerned about the instruction and coaching and my kids' development than anything. They are both young and it's important that they receive proper training in the fundamentals at their early ages.

The guy was an absolute a-hole to us. We ran his team out of the gym, so he officiated the second game. They pulled in ringers on scholly from selu, and he cussed out the mother of a player once we complained that they cheat.
My opinion is just that, my opinion, but I'll never return.

BigEd....can you recommend any other place around the Mandeville/Covington area?
Posted on 8/12/14 at 11:17 am to Hammond Tiger Fan
Not familiar enough.
To be fair, selu players play there a lot, so he must be doing something right.
We just had a real bad experience.

Despite BigEd's bad experience, everyone I know who has had a kid there likes the place. Charles Tracey is a phenomenal athlete and is an "old school" coach. He's big on fundamentals and mental toughness. Your child will NOT be coddled! Everyone does NOT get a trophy in Charles' world. There are winners, and there are losers. He's a tough love kind of guy.
But don't get me wrong, he's a great guy. He can be a dick when the situation warrants it, but he's a nice guy under the occasionally (usually?) gruff exterior.

When he put two selu players against our hs squad, a mom complained. She said "those ain't boys! This isn't fair! Someone's gonna get hurt!'
His response " F You, Bi***! If you don't like it, forfeit and get the F out of my building"
Such class

Drop them off at the courts in the toughest hood in the city. That's what Billy Cunningham's dad did and he turned out alright.

why dont you train them
Posted on 8/12/14 at 12:30 pm to BigEdLSU
Charles Tracey said that, loud enough for others to hear, to the mother of a HS kid playing? While he was also refereeing the game?
I find it hard to believe, if for no other reason than it can't be good for his business. But if that happened to me, I'd be talking shite about him every chance I had, too.

I believe big ed based on my knowledge of what goes on. I could share a few "interesting " stories. Just not out in the open.

Because in order to completely learn the game and maximize their growth they need the repetitions and to play against competition.
I will be working with them as well at home when I have time, but these days only training in your driveway won't get you to perfect your craft when other kids are doing more than that. I don't have a problem paying someone if it will benefit my kids' development.
