The OW ZONE student section provides students with the opportunity to enthusiastically support men's and women’s basketball. The OW ZONE is the heart and soul of the Old Westbury Panthers basketball cheering section.
How do I get involved in the OW ZONE?
The Old Westbury Gameday Staff selects the OW ZONE section leaders. These dedicated individuals volunteer their time assisting prior to games along with other OW ZONE activities. During the season, section leaders arrive one hour prior to tip off assisting in the entry process. As compensation, section leaders get a behind the scenes look at the OW ZONE, along with Old Westbury basketball. They will often receive free meals, along with being invited to exclusive activities. While being a section leader is often somewhat time consuming, most notably on game days, section leaders will tell you that it is well worth the commitment. This is also a great way to be more involved and show your Panther Pride.
Students are always welcome to offer to help the Gameday Staff with various tasks. Feel free to email us at
