 Testimonials:

In the last several years at Mandeville High School, I have had several players come into the MHS Lady Skipper basketball program that have come from Charles Tracey's training facility.  These young student athletes have had the ability to play at the 5A level of basketball right away. The floor knowledge they have had at this young age is a tribute to their hard work and love of the game as individuals and the dedication and hard work of Charles Tracey's instructional facility. Keep up the good work! T.A. Ricks, Girls Varsity Head Coach, Mandeville High School

For girls with the desire to play Junior High and High School basketball, participating with Charles is a must. His programs will be the greatest asset you can give your daughter. His girls come out of his training center already prepared for what must be done to play at a  Junior High and High School level.  Steve Lopinto, Varsity Girls Head Coach, Fontainebleau High School

I strongly encourage any girl that wants to play High School basketball to train and play at Northshore Basketball Training Center.  What they will learn is essential to being able to come in and contribute to a High School team. Concentration on fundamentals, IQ and skill are the core to his programs. His players are consistently much better and play earlier in High School. Micki Andry, Varsity Coach, SSA High School

My dear friend, Coach John Wooden would love what is going on at the NorthShore Basketball Training Center because what they're doing is what he constantly stressed during his unmatched coaching career. He was dedicated to the teaching of proper basketball fundamentals and that is the foundation of Charles Tracey's Center.   The Center's equipment also far exceeds any high school in the area but more important, the interest in young people is hard to equal.  I highly recommend that you take a good look at NSBBTC for your child's development. Dale Brown, Former LSU Basketball Coach 1972-1997

Our 14 year old daughter, Erin, is currently playing AAU ball.  Her skill level in certain areas needed to be strengthened so we met with Coach Charles to discuss how NSBBTC might help.  Erin’s skills were evaluated and a training plan developed.  She has been involved with the Center for several months now and all who know her and have watched her play have commented on her improvement, including her AAU coach.  We feel very fortunate to have connected with Charles Tracey and NSBBTC. He cares about his athletes and is honest in his evaluations. The program is a shared enterprise -  he provides them with the tools and guidance to advance and they must make the commitment to do the training.  The program has worked for us. Max & Jana Lauderdale

The Northshore Basketball Training Center is a must for any age group of young athletes regardless of their skill levels. Charles Tracey, owner and instructor, is from the old school of basketball that believes in hard work and being fundamentally sound in all aspects of the game of basketball.  My 9 year old son has been with Charles from the inception of the training center and has been taught specific basketball drills that I feel confident will give him an early advantage over kids his age in the coming years. Charles is a "hands on" type of guy who is really passionate about what he does. With the instruction of Charles at NSBBTC, I'm certain that your child will become a solid, well-rounded basketball player. Todd Herbet, a satisfied parent

Both of our daughters attend Charles Tracey’s training program, and it really makes a difference.  Besides visibly improving their skills, Coach Tracey has provided them with a boost of confidence.  Our oldest daughter is now incorporating the skills she has learned, along with the insight and game strategies Coach Tracey provides, and is competing at a higher level.  Our youngest has conquered ball handling drills that only three weeks ago, she would not attempt. Vic & Cheryl Franckiewicz

Upon having the privilege of coaching Charles as a 9 and 10 year old basketball player, you would not find a better example of a team player and leader. His skills were outstanding and his confidence was exceptional. It is always said that anyone can coach, but not everyone can teach. In knowing these facts, Charles would be an excellent role model and an exciting fundamental coach for the youth under his leadership. Coach Al Gaudet, two-time Biddy Basketball National Champion, AAU National Champion and Junior Pro National

My child advanced 2-3 levels in one season under Charles. His coaching and teaching has molded my child into an all around solid player. Quentin Dastugue, CEO, Property One, Inc.

NSBBTC will provide year round development of proper techniques, skills, and game strategy. The above is much needed by today’s players for future success. John Derenbecker, Ponchatoula High Boys Coach

Players that I have received from teams that Charles has coached are consistently above average in skill, game knowledge and strategy. Michelle Anderson, Coach, Northlake Christian

Our daughter was coached by Charles for two seasons. He taught her the basic fundamentals and skills to play the game with great confidence. Charlie's passion and enthusiasm for the game will be a positive asset in coaching our younger daughter at NSBBTC. Chris & Sheryl Ives

Charles' thorough knowledge of basketball gave my daughter the edge to perform at a higher level.  He really taught her the fundamentals, the game and the correct way to shoot. Carolyn Wynne, Mom

Charles took my son and changed his life and game forever. My son came in as an average recreational player with no self confidence and will now be entering his eighth grade year as a primary player, scorer and leader. Charles' ability to focus and make very clear what my son's goals were to be, was the difference. The confidence my child has in basketball and life has made the journey so worthwhile. AHK
