"COACH PERRY HAS A UNIQUE ABILITY TO SEE THE POTENTIAL IN EVERY INDIVIDUAL AND HELP THEM BELIEVE IN THEMSELVES. MIDWAY THROUGH MY SON'S SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL, CHRIS ONLY HAD ONE DIVISION 2 SCHOLARSHIP OFFER. WE HIT A WALL AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT. THROUGH PERRY'S GUIDANCE AND LEADERSHIP, COMBINED WITH CHRIS'S GREAT ACADEMIC AND ATHLETIC PROWESS, HE SHOWED US WHAT'S POSSIBLE WITH A YEAR OF PREP SCHOOL. IN 2019-2020, CHRIS ATTENDED ST. THOMAS MORE, LED BY LEGENDARY COACH JERE QUINN. WITHIN JUST A FEW MONTHS, CHRIS HAD SEVERAL D1 SCHOLARSHIPS AND ULTIMATELY DECIDED ON CORNELL. HE WILL GRADUATE SPRING '24 WITH AN IVY LEAGUE DEGREE, AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY PROFESSIONALLY OVERSEAS. NONE OF WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF NJ BEASTS."

- WILL MANON, PARENT

"THANK YOU PERRY. WE APPRECIATE ALL THE TIME, ENERGY, AND CARE YOU PUT INTO THE BEASTS AND THE BOYS. IT HAS BEEN A TERRIFIC THREE YEARS FOR EVAN, AND I'M SO FORTUNATE WE CONNECTED IN EARLY 2021.

AS YOU KNOW, THE LANDSCAPE OF TEAMS OUT THERE REALLY RUNS THE GAMUT, WITH FAR MORE BAD THAN GOOD. AND WE FEEL LUCKY EVAN WAS ABLE TO HOOK UP WITH PERRY AND THE BEASTS. A GREAT COACH WHO CARES, AND PREACHES PLAYING THE RIGHT WAY. ROSTER STABILITY. A COMMITMENT TO PRACTICE AND SKILL DEVELOPMENT. A NETWORK OF SUCCESSFUL FORMER PLAYERS STILL INVOLVED WITH THE TEAM. AND OF COURSE HIS HELP, ADVICE, AND HARD WORK THROUGH THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS."

-MIKE O'REILLY, PARENT

NJ BEASTS CLEARLY DISTINGUISHES ITSELF AND IS TRULY UNIQUE FROM ANY OTHER PROGRAM. THEY KEEP THE FOCUS ON CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, A HUMBLE TEAM APPROACH, AND SACRIFICE PERSONAL GOALS FOR THOSE OF THE TEAM. PERRY AND HIS STAFF CARE ABOUT THE YOUNG MEN IN THIS PROGRAM BEYOND JUST BASKETBALL AND PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES TO YOUNG MEN, WHO WITHOUT THEM, WOULD NOT HAVE A CHANCE TO DEVELOP RELATIONSHIPS, AND VISIBILITY TO COMPETE AT THIS LEVEL AND BEYOND."

- TIM PERNETTI, PRESIDENT IMG ACADEMY

"LEAVING MY FAMILY IN ITALY TO COME TO THE UNITED STATES TO CONTINUE MY EDUCATION BEFORE MY SOPHOMORE YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL WAS AN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT DECISION. HOWEVER, I KNEW IT WOULD OPEN UP SO MANY DOORS FOR ME IN THE FUTURE. I NOW HAVE EARNED A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA BEGINNING FALL 2024. THANK YOU TO PERRY AND THE NJ BEASTS FOR HELPING MAKE THIS DREAM AND REALITY."

-MICHELANGELO OBERTI, MORRIS CATHOLIC '23

"WE PRIORITIZE RECRUITING FROM THE NJ BEASTS PROGRAM. THEY DO AN OUTSTANDING JOB PREPARING YOUNG MEN FOR THE NEXT LEVEL, AND LATER ON IN LIFE."
