Founder
Robert "Nimbo" Hammons was born in Cincinnati, OH. Shortly after he was born the family relocated to Lexington, KY. Jackie Hammons raised Robert and his younger brother by herself for the most part in Charlotte Court Public Housing Projects in Lexington, KY. That is where the team name Charlotte Court came from. Robert called basketball "mode of survival" because he knew it was the only way out of the projects. Robert played basketball all of his life and was All State for Bryan Station High School for three consecutive years. He earned an athletic scholarship to George Washington University in Washington D.C. While playing basketball Robert earned his Bachelors Degree in Sociology. After graduating Robert played professional basketball overseas in Amsterdam. Robert is currently employed by Fayette County Public Schools and works at Breckinridge Elementary as a PASS Assistant. Since 1999 the program has helped numerous young men and women by providing them with life skills and empowerment through athletics and academic support.

The experience
While teaching the fundamentals of basketball, Robert and his staff also teach very important fundamentals of life. A popular lesson is leadership. Coach Nimbo is famous for telling the teams point guard to lead the team and run the show. "You're driving my Bentley, don't wreck my Bentley. This constant teaching and lesson have helped teams be very successful throughout the years.
