NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Nearly 50 second graders from the Shepherd Glen School in Hamden were given an up close and personal look at the keys to being balanced on Monday when gymnasts from Southern Connecticut State University hosted the youngsters as part of a practical field study. The Owls went through a variety of skills and routines in an effort to demonstrate balance with their sport.

This event 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 nearly 2,000 hours of their time to numerous outreach efforts, both on-campus and in Greater New Haven, during the 2008-09 academic year.
