What parents are saying about the Argonauts!
"My son has been playing with CYO for the past 3 years and this year was his first year to get call back for A-team and his Coaches from before they asked us "how did he get so good in a short time?" Everything that Coach Joe taught my son is coming out and it is nice for us to see he plays with so much confidence. We are so excited and happy for him that he is part of the Argonauts team. Thank you Coach Joe." -- Azar & Nasser S.
"My son made the basketball team! A feat made possible only by the excellent training and coaching he's had. This is YOUR accomplishment--thank you both. Coach Joe keeps hammering away at the old-school values of discipline, hard work, and conditioning. He is a tough task-master. He doesn't let you off the hook with "Nice try" if it wasn't. He insists on the best a player can give. When Coach Joe tells you that you did something well, you absolutely know for a fact it's not empty praise. His coaching is focused and pointed, no skimping on technique. He'll work for thirty minutes with a player on a single move: he wants to see it all--head up, elbows out, shoulder moving into the fast pivot. He builds the game piece by piece and drills it into his players' muscle memory. I have tremendous respect for what he does and what he knows. Our son has benefited tremendously." -- Barbara M.
"My daughter (incoming Sophomore) has only been going to the Argonauts workouts for a short time and she has told me that Coach Joe has been the best source for her improvement. This is above all the other basketball activities, practices and games she has done!" -- L.K.
"I owe a lot to Coach Joe. My son is very comfortable and excited about playing for him. I think we have found a team that my son will call home for some time. Thanks again for all the time that you invest in all of the kids!" -- C. Jacks, Jr.
"My son loves basketball but when he didn't make the school team last year, he was devastated. We knew that making the team this year would be a longshot. Luckily we found the Argonauts this summer. At first he was intimidated by the coaching and the players, but we realized that the coach had the same goal. Coach Joe truly wanted my son to make his school team. My son learned to sharpen his skills in shooting, defense & ball-handling from the workouts. And most importantly he gained confidence by playing in the tournaments. His Argonauts teammates are also now his friends. I am so happy with what he has learned from the Argonauts - he made the school team AND is one of the starters!! " -- Bernadette & Dan C.
"We appreciate and are truly thankful for the opportunity to have our kids join the Argonauts program. We believe we found the right basketball program for our kids. In just a short time, they've learned a lot (basketball stuff & more) and were able to improve on their basketball fundamentals (passing, rebounding, court awareness, defense). Likewise the rigorous workouts and practices as well as the tournaments (and of course Joe's great coaching) have helped improve their conditioning a lot and taught them the value of hardwork, discipline, unity & good rapport as keys to their and the team's success on (& off) the court. As the kids are now enjoying and proud to be with the Argonauts program, we look forward to having the kids keep playing the "Argonauts" way." -- J.B.
"My son did not get many minutes on his school team last year, but after spending the summer with the Argonauts, parents have told us that he is now one of the best players on the team! You guys have taught him well, I am so pleased with what he's learned from the Argonauts." -- Mario & Rebecca S.
"As a divorced Mom, I always look for a coach who will not belittle my son but someone who will be firm with him and teach him not only basketball skills and techniques but also teamsmanship and helping him to become not only a great athlete but also help him develop other very needed skills and qualities such as leadership, morale and self-esteem that he can take with him anywhere. Well, coach Joe is providing that and more for my son. He has a knack of honing in on each players weaknesses and strengths and immediately begins to help strengthen and highlight both areas. I watched him take one of my son's friends who had never played organized basketball before and now is the starting center for the team and improves with every practice and game. The Argonauts could not have come at a better time in my son Cameron's life! He had just completed a year with CCOP on the "A" team but had lost his confidence to play because he felt that all of the other "A" team players were better players than he was, so he came away feeling that he could not play that well anymore. However, a couple of my friends mentioned that we check out the Argonauts and so we went on a Friday night work-out and conditioning and that same night, he joined the team and has not missed a night since joining! He has also brought in 6 of his other friends and 1 cousin, whom have all been very pleased. Needless to say, he has redeemed his confidence! Of course I could go on and on and on about how much Coach Joe and the argonauts have made a tremendous difference for my son Cameron and his friends. Thank you Coach and Lynn for taking the time to pour into my son and his friends! -- Brenda M.
"Coach Joe really works with his players to get better and to make their high school teams. He does not let them get away with playing lazy and he expects the players to play hard during games and practices." -- Emily & Matt M.
"We are very glad that Jason joined the Bay Area Argonauts. His defense, rebounding, speed and shooting have significantly improved. These fundamentals improvement and Argonauts’ conditioning helped Jason made the CYO A-team and 7th grade school team. Thank you very much Coach Joe for helping my son. You have an awesome program! I’ve seen a lot of kids in your program playing better basketball." -- Abraham and Karen L.
"The Bay Area Argonauts was a wonderful opportunity for our son as it allowed him to improve his conditioning and hone his fundamentals, learn and work within a team concept/environment, allowed his leadership abilities to surface, play within a competetive league and tournament, scrimmage against an AAU team, meet new friends and most important of all, allowed him to have fun. We found the atmosphere and coaching to be very supportive and encouraging and it was critical that Joe was able to assess each team member on an individual basis and provide specific feedback on how to improve and in which areas. Our son was one of 20 players (48 players tried out and 12 of the 20 were members of the Bay Area Argonauts) that made the 6th grade basketball team this year at Harvest Park and I strongly believe that Joe deserves the majority credit for his making the team." -- John H.
"You guys are the best. There's no substitute for sweating and working hard on the court. Coach Joe demands the players' attention and all the kids respect him. No one messes around." -- Dean S.
"Thank you Coach Joe & Lynn for getting our son Christopher conditioned for the upcoming Harvest Park Season & CYO. Your program has really helped Chris improve his game! Thanks a bunch.Christopher has really enjoyed your program a lot. Look forward to future sessions with the Argonauts!" -- Olivia and Richard B.
