NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Student-athletes and coaches from the Southern Connecticut State University women’s soccer team traveled to the Daniels School in New Haven on Monday as part of an interactive ‘Soccer Haven’ athletic program with students at the school. This program is a team effort between both men’s and women’s programs at several area greater New Haven colleges.
This program is just one example of many community outreach events that SCSU student-athletes will take part in as part of the Tim Greer Insurance Agency Community Service Cup.
Initiated in September, 2008, the ‘Community Service Cup’ program provides a competitive format that allows student-athletes to gain an enriched experience through engagement with the on-campus and local communities by supporting ventures of traditional citizens, campus community members and peer students and student-athletes. SCSU student-athletes volunteered more than 3,000 hours of their time to numerous outreach efforts, both on-campus and in Greater New Haven, during the 2012-13 academic year.
