Pete Maravich Assembly Center - Practice Facilities

Practice Facilities

In 2010, LSU completed a basketball practice facility which is connected to the Maravich Center through the Northwest portal. The facility features separate, full-size duplicate gymnasiums for the men's and women's basketball teams. They include a regulation NCAA court in length with two regulation high school courts in the opposition direction. The courts are exact replicas of the Maravich Center game court and have two portable goals and four retractable goals. The gymnasiums are equipped with a scoreboard, video filming balcony and scorer's table with video and data connection. The facility also houses team locker rooms, a team lounge, training rooms, a coach's locker room and coach's offices.

The building also includes a two-story lobby and staircase that ascends to the second level where a club room is used for pre-game and post-game events and is connected to the Maravich Center concourse. The lobby includes team displays and graphics, trophy cases and memorabilia of LSU Basketball.

With the completion of the basketball practice facility, the LSU volleyball team moved into a state-of-the-art locker room facility off the southwest corridor in 2011. It includes the team locker room, film room, equipment room and training rooms. The auxiliary gym located underneath the north section of the arena was converted to a volleyball-only practice facility.

Also located in the arena is the ā€œLā€ Club meeting room along with Tiger Athletic Foundation offices.

Famous quotes containing the words practice and/or facilities:

    No exile at the South Pole or on the summit of Mont Blanc separates us more effectively from others than the practice of a hidden vice.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    I have always found that when men have exhausted their own resources, they fall back on “the intentions of the Creator.” But their platitudes have ceased to have any influence with those women who believe they have the same facilities for communication with the Divine mind as men have.
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
