About Penn State Wilkes Barre Basketball
At Penn State Wilkes-Barre, you're not just another roster number, you're part of a tight-knit community where coaching staff and players genuinely know each other. Head coach LeShawn Hammett builds his program on authentic relationships, creating an environment where personal growth matters as much as wins. In the USCAA and Penn State University Athletic Conference, this Lions squad competes while maintaining the kind of accessibility you won't find at larger Division I programs. The value here is straightforward: smaller doesn't mean less invested. Your coaches have real time to develop you individually, both on court and in the classroom. You'll experience the full Penn State athletic tradition while competing in a setting where effort and character actually define your playing time. The campus culture emphasizes belonging, athletes here know they matter to the program and to each other. Penn State Wilkes-Barre attracts players serious about basketball and serious about their futures. If you want to play meaningful minutes, build lasting coaching relationships, and compete in a conference where you're genuinely developed rather than just plugged in, this is a program worth exploring. Before you reach out to a program at this level, make sure your game is where it needs to be. Florida Coastal Prep exists to help serious players close that gap, through elite training, academic support, and real exposure. Start at floridacoastalprep.com or /contact/.
