The next generation of basketball stars tested their playing prowess on the courts of Connolly Center at the Redhawks basketball day camp. Young players of all skill levels showed their best b-ball moves against more "seasoned" players and coaches. The camp introduces the fundamentals of the game in a positive, team-oriented environment. And the players, in turn, pick up new skills and work habits applicable in the game of life.

Find out about upcoming athletics camps at SU.
