Southern CT Soccer Hosts Clinic for Wallingford Youths


From Southern Connecticut State University

The Southern Connecticut State University women's soccer team hosted a clinic at Jess Dow Field for youngsters within the Wallingford Youth Soccer program prior to the team's spring contest against Fairfield on April 11.

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.
