About the provider

The mission statement says the program focuses on the basics and fundamental training before anything, and that players must be prepared and taught the proper way first. Coach Q played all 4 years of college basketball, was a 4 year starter and captain, and received tournament MVP, All Tournament awards, All League honors, and College All-American. Steven Pangelinan graduated with honors, was named a North Coast Section California Interscholastic Federation Scholar-Athlete, and is involved in philanthropic foundations serving the Tri-Valley community and youth.
