NETS welcome Coach Dourdas

NETS Announces New Head Men’s Basketball Coach

Syracuse, NY (March 14, 2012)– Syracuse Nets Basketball Club President MJ Munson named Peter Dourdas the new 16u National head men’s basketball coach on Friday afternoon.

“Dourdas has the drive and commitment it takes to make the NETS men’s basketball program consistently competitive with the best in the nation,” said President Munson. “Over the past year, Dourdas has become an important member of the NETS family. His discipline, passion for excellence and desire to be the best makes Dourdas the right candidate to continue building a great program.”

“This is a great day for me and my family,” said Dourdas. “I am so excited and will continue to build this program until we take our place among the best in AAU basketball.”

“We are thrilled to have Dourdas as our next head coach,” said Lou Lamphear, director of athletics. “He is the right man for the job. His well-documented work ethic is sure to serve as an example for both the current players and the players he helped recruit.”

After college, Peter embarked on a professional basketball career that included 9 seasons in the US and in Europe.  In Europe, Peter was a member of basketball powerhouse Olympiacos Piraeus, where he went on to become one of the top shooters in Europe.

When his playing days were over, Peter saw a need in the marketplace for personal skill training and embarked on his next basketball venture by starting a Skills Academy.  Peter has taken all he has learned as a player and coach and has translated that into training some of the best basketball players and teams in New York.  Peter’s skills are highly respected in the training community.

Peter’s playing and teaching experience make him one of the most qualified and experienced personal skills coaches in the state of New York.  For any player looking to significantly improve their game, an opportunity to train with Peter is not one to be missed.
