“The Charlotte Court Stars program is unique because it is a positive mentoring program for boys that provide a learning environment to strengthen academics, discipline through athletics, an outlet to discuss issues, and fun by taking field trips. Ms. Davis and Coach Nimbo care about the well-being of each individual child and it shows through the respect that they receive from the kids. They stay in contact with the parents and are always willing to help. I'm grateful that my son has the privilege to be a part of this group. He's progressed in so many ways and I have Coach and Ms. Davis to thank for that!!!!”

“For me Charlotte Court is unique in the fact that it's really a way to help the kids. Not only that, the program is more than something for the kids to do. You both have been a blessing to both of my boys. You guys take your Saturdays and come and support them at football games, check in to see how they are doing at with school, academically and behavior wise. The funny thing is they no longer go to Breckinridge, and you guys continue to check on them. Ms. Davis you are the best! You were patient and really helped Kari with his issues. You still help with that. Coach Nimbo built a bond with these boys that cannot be broken. Keshaun and Kari talk about you both all the time. Keshaun wishes that he could go back to Breckinridge just to be a part of High Flyers and to see Coach every day. Coach Nimbo was the only person that could calm him when his temper would explode. I loved that. I knew if he had a bad day there was someone there to get him together and also help him have a better day. Not to mention you both have experienced the human task reminder. But all in all, this program has helped my boys academically.

“First of all I would like to say what makes Charlotte Court unique and stand out from the rest is that it is run by two of the most kind and lovable people. Nimbo and Kristin establish bonds with these children that can't be broken. They help them with every aspect of life and them becoming a better person. My son absolutely adores the both of you guys. The group of boys that you had at Breckinridge and over the summer love you. I love the bond that all the boys developed and has kept. I think for my son, J'Marious, the hardest part of going to middle school was not having you guys there. He always talks about Coach’s group and the talks they had in the morning to start their day. Even though he is no longer at Breckenridge you guys still continue to reach out to him.... From checking on him to see how he is doing in school to attending his football and basketball games Nothing that you guys do goes unnoticed and I truly appreciate it. I could keep going and going but I'm not. Charlotte Court is unique because it is family....”

“I think what makes Charlotte court stand out is the pure positivity it brings to kids, not only through athletics or education, but in Life. Nimbo has experienced and seen diversity, whether it has been directly in his own life, or others around him. He chose a path that steered him away from negativity. He teaches young people the tools to make the most out of their own situation (bad or good) and not only does he wholeheartedly believe in each and every one of the kids he works with, teachers or coaches, he makes them believe in themselves. He's always positive; he never gives up on anyone. He leads by example. It's not just an organization to come to learn or play sports; you gain a family when you are a part of Charlotte Court and what Nimbo built. Some of the kids would never get to experience family otherwise...”

“Over the last year I have been truly mean amazed at what Charlotte Court really stands for. Looking at it from a far you might only see a basketball team but we are so much more.Yes we are a travel basketball organization that is pretty well accomplished.A team that works hard and holds their heads high. But that is just the top layer of what Charlotte Court really is. From doing community service to teaching the boys about real life situations and how to handle them. We are far more than a basketball team we are a family that looks out for each other on and off the court. We see the potential in each player not only with their basketball skills but their education as well. They get pushed by not only the coaching staff but also the other players parents. We hold each one of them accountable for everything they do on and off the court and their teammates hold them to it as well. If they see one of their teammates down emotionally or physically they all go to pick them up. These boys aren't just teammates they are brothers and will be for life. This opportunity has changed not only Dominique's life it has changed ours as well. Our family has grown and we love it!”

What does Charlotte Court means to me? I can tell you it's more than just a basketball team. It's a family! Coaches, parents, and players really love each other. The men greet each other with a handshake or "dap". Greet the moms and women with a hug. The parents take care of each kid as if it was there own kid. Everyone is very supportive of each other. If your kid has some kind of event outside of basketball, you best guarantee one of us will be there to support him. It's no thing for all 12 boys to end up at your house before you know what's going on. Most people would run from it, we see it as a blessing to be around these kids.
