ROY'S BOYS
The next generation
Kansas Men's Basketball administrative assistant Jerod Hasse encourages the youngsters to be scrappy on defense.
The 2001 Roy Williams Basketball Camp has brought thousands of young basketball enthusiasts to Allen Fieldhouse in recent years. The sessions run from June 17 to 21 and June 24 to 28 and teach the campers everything from the basic fundamentals to more complicated tips that they can only learn from the experienced staff.
Six hoops line the stands of Allen Fieldhouse, allowing particants in the 2001 Roy Williams Basketball Camp to experience the James Naismith Court from a different direction.
Players stretch following a dinner break.
From early in the morning until late into the evening, campers live and breathe basketball. During the five-day basketball camp, they are taught fundamental skills and participate in tournament-style team play, like the two campers above.
