Auburn basketball is hosting two camps this week, and head coach Bruce Pearl shared a video on Thursday showing he opens his camps every day by playing the national anthem.

The camps, one for ages 4-6 and the other for ages 6-12, consist "of three days of daily skill development, two to three full games each day, fundamental instruction, contests, lectures, video analysis and station work taught by current AU players, high school coaches, college coaches and staff members for a fun filled experience, according to the camp's website.

This is not the first time the Auburn basketball coach has shown support for the national anthem.

At another camp earlier this month, Pearl shared a message to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day in which campers sang "God Bless America" and the "Star-Spangled Banner" with hands over their hearts.
