What is a guest, and can they attend an event with me?

Pre-Game Socials

Pre-Game Socials will take place in Legends I & II (formerly rooms E & F) at the Bryce Jordan Center.  There are Pre-Game Socials only for selected games.  They are based on the home game schedule and the starting times for those games.

Pre-Game Socials will begin two hours prior to the game tip-off time, and they typically end about a half hour prior to game time. Pre-Game Socials are free to attend for Hoops Club members. Guests are permitted, depending on your membership level. No RSVP required.

Post-Game Socials

Post-Game Socials are held in the Founders Lounge at the Bryce Jordan Center and begin immediately following the completion of the game and end approximately an hour after start. Light snacks are provided and there is a cash bar.

Post-Game Socials are free to attend for Hoops Club members. Guests are permitted, depending on your membership level. No RSVP required.

Point Guard Brunch

Point Guard Brunches are held in the Founders Lounge of the Bryce Jordan Center. The Point Guard Brunch provides Club members the opportunity to attend an event where one player from the team (academic schedule permitting) and a special (basketball-related) guest are featured speakers at the event. The door opens at 11:00 AM and a buffet lunch is offered beginning at 11:30 AM, followed by the program. Coach Rhoades (schedule permitting) or another member of the coaching staff will also speak at the event. The event ends by 1:00 PM.

Guests are permitted, depending on your membership level. Luncheon fees are required for all Point Guard Brunch attendees.

Free parking will be available in the Founder's lot. RSVP is required.

Bus Trips

The Club typically coordinates one bus trip per season to a game that is within comfortable one-day driving distance of University Park. The dates, times and price are determined sometime following the release of the season schedule. The trips are for Hoops Club members. Guests are permitted, depending on your membership level. 

Space is limited and is based on bus seat and game ticket availability. Game tickets may be part of the bus trip package. RSVP is required.

TV Time Outs

TV Timeouts are an opportunity for Hoops Club members to watch Penn State away games with their fellow members. TV Timeouts will take place for away games only and at a Community Captain restaurant(s) that will be determined. TV Timeouts are free to attend for Hoops Club members. No RSVP required.

Please recognize that the restaurant hosting a TV Time Out is making an area available for us to view the game as a service to our members only; and, on occasion, some food may be provided depending on the level of attendance.

Scrimmage & Social

Each season, the Basketball Office schedules a Basketball Alumni Weekend. The game weekend is determined sometime after the season schedule is released. Part of this event is an Alumni Pick-Up Basketball Scrimmage. The scrimmage is held prior to Penn State's game scheduled for that weekend and takes place in the BJC practice gym.

The Scrimmage & Social, as part of the Alumni Weekend, are free for Hoops Club members. Guests are permitted, depending on your membership level. Free parking will be available in the Founder's lot. RSVP is required.

Pre-season Happy Hour Social

Join Coach Rhoades and his staff, in additional to several players, as they will share their insights and thoughts on the upcoming season. The event is an exciting opportunity for all Hoops Club members to come together, mingle, and kick off the new season!  RSVP is required.
