  • Coaches and staff are all local to the Greater Southern New Hampshire area. 
  • Team is comprised of high-caliber, dedicated players only 
  • Personalized training sessions for players seriously interested in improving their skills.
  • Skills and drills programs are offered throughout the year. 
  • Three hours of practice at the SportsZone per week.
  • Coaching Director, Dave Constant, was a member of the nationally ranked team in high school, Trinity High School 2003/2004. He also played for the Granite State Raiders (the only AAU team in the New Hampshire at the time, which helped launch Matt Bonner and several other Division I, II, and III players). Dave went on to play college basketball at NHTI. He coached the Pembroke Academy High School as Junior Varsity Head Coach and was also the Varsity Assistant Coach from 2013-2014.
