The highly recommended Jim "Basketball" Jones Program is a high energy, interactive assembly that will keep both the students and staff spellbound. The show includes basketball spinning, dribbling, juggling and his inspirational message on "The Winner's Attitude", which is also great for any adult group that
needs better attitudes or motivation to be and do better.


Six years ago, Jim started offering his program to schools. It has grown from 12 shows to over 350 shows annually. Many schools have booked him annually or every other year, because of his powerful message and the impact he has had on both students and staff. This is a fun, fast paced assembly with a message of hope, determination and hard work.


His "Three Pointers for Life Program" focuses on motivating kids to believe in themselves, never give up and work hard. Specific school topics, such as "Saying No to Drugs','"The Power of Reading;' and "Respect, Honesty, and Staying in School'; are successfully blended within his presentations.
