★★★★★Matt DonahuePlaying for the Middlesex Magic was one of the most valuable and beneficial experiences of my life. There is not a better program in the country at teaching the qualities of being not just a great basketball player but life qualities and lessons that extend well beyond the basketball court. During my time with the Middlesex Magic, I achieved the level of success I wanted for myself as a basketball player, and along the way built relationships that will last a lifetime. This is all due to the culture Mike Crotty has instilled in this program over the years. For players who want to take their basketball skills to the next level, there is no better set of coaches to help them get to that point than Coach Crotty, Coach Giordano, and Coach Boyle. In a program where the coaches lead by example and truly care about all of their players success, it’s no secret why the Magic have become one of the most well respected and premier AAU programs in the country.
★★★★★Caryn HappyI can’t say enough positive things about the Magic program. All the coaches have all been great to work with, very skilled and prepared to improve the players’ game. Coach Crotty takes personal interest in his players and goes the “extra mile” for each of them. The program is excellent!
★★★★★Thomas ShaughnessyMy three years playing with the Middlesex Magic under Coach Crotty was without a doubt the most rewarding experience of my life. While success on the court might have been the obvious goal, Crotty taught me, and countless others, how to be a hard worker, a great teammate, competitor, and person. He teaches by example, inspiring us to aim higher and push ourselves. Coach’s commitment to us was absolute and I am so proud to have been part of this program. The Magic is in many ways a family. During my time with the Magic I built relationships that will last a lifetime. It’s a program where the coaches respect the players, and the players respect the coaches. I can’t imagine ever playing for another program and coach. I am forever grateful!
★★★★★Carolyn ShaughnessyI would give 10 stars if I could. Middlesex Magic is an exceptional program. Every coach we came into contact with supported our sons basketball development as well as his personal development. They teach and play team basketball which served our son both on and off the court. The communication with us as parents was exceptional and our son truly loved his years playing with the Magic.
★★★★★Harry RaffertyIt has been 10 years since I put on the Middlesex Magic jersey, and I still look back at that time as one of the most rewarding basketball experiences of my life. Mike Crotty is a great coach and has continued to stay in my life as a mentor/friend. I highly recommend the Magic to any young player who is willing to put in the work to try to be great
