UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State basketball will offer five boys basketball camp opportunities on the University Park campus this summer beginning June 1-3 with the Father/Son Camp.
Head coach Patrick Chambers, the Nittany Lion coaching staff and several current Nittany Lion players will be joined by former Nittany Lion players and regional coaches as they conduct a variety of camp opportunities covering several skill levels through the month of June.
Coach Patrick Chambers’ Nittany Lion team quickly gained a reputation for all-out hustle, toughness, energy and passion on the floor in his first season at the helm of the program.
"The play extremely hard; they battle; they go after it," Indiana coach Tom Crean said after his No. 12 ranked Hoosiers narrowly escaped the Bryce Jordan Center with a victory in January. "(Coach Chambers) has taken some good players that were here and made them a lot better."
