Future Lions Combine

As part of Penn State’s Letterman Weekend, the Future Lions Combine invites the next generation of Nittany Lion legends to step into the spotlight. This interactive, family-friendly event gives kids the chance to meet current PSU student-athletes, high-five the Nittany Lion, and put their skills to the test in fun, sports-themed challenges. It's a celebration of spirit, sports, and the future of Penn State athletics. 

 How It Works: 

• Interactive Stations: Kids rotate through a series of athletic and game-based stations inspired by real training drills: 40-yard dash & vertical leap station 
• Mini putt-putt challenge 
• Obstacle course & agility ladder 
• Face painting and spirit zone 
• Inflatable Zone 
• Meet the Team: Appearances from current PSU athletes, Cheer Team, and the Nittany Lion mascot 
• Swag & Memories: Giveaways, photo ops, and custom “Future Lion” badges for each participant 

 Why It’s Great for Letterman Weekend: 

• Brings Letterman legacy full circle by celebrating future generations of fans and athletes 
• Engages families and creates a vibrant, high-energy pregame atmosphere 
• Adds an event to the calendar during a gap in scheduling
