"Jim
Pendergrass has been at every level of basketball. He
has coached high school state champions as well as
collegiate All-Americans. His knowledge of basketball
skill development and the fundamentals of the game are
superior. I have constantly relied on Jim and his
knowledge for over 15 years of working together. While
at Southwest Missouri State, Jim was a cornerstone of helping
propel our program to the Final Four level."
Cheryl Burnett
"Jim
has one of the best basketball minds that I have
ever been around.He is constantly thinking about basketball
in some capacity. Even more impressive than that,
he
is one of the most genuine and caring people that
I know. He is a good person that cares about doing
what
is right.
He's great about making kids feel good about themselves.
Any child that spends time with Jim will leave with
positive feelings about what they accomplished. Jim
will not only
help kids become better basketball players, they
will have fun, work hard, and build their confidence.
He
is a great guy and I would highly recommend him."

Dear

The Missouri Basketball Academy will provide young players with the fundamentals
and instruction necessary to help them achieve their basketball goals. I build
the confidence of young players by improving their fundamental skill level. They
will be inspired to play hard, play together, and play smart. I want to help
develop character and increase the skill level of each and every athlete. I look
forward to working with your child.
