NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Southern Connecticut State University women's soccer team hosted a free pre-game clinic earlier today in support of Celebrate Youth Soccer Month. The Owls partnered up with U.S. Youth Soccer and the Connecticut Junior Soccer Association (CJSA) for this special event. Sam Snow (U.S. Youth Soccer Director of Coaching), Austin Daniels (CJSA Director of Coaching) and Bob Dikranian (legendary Owls' men's soccer coach and current assistant coach at Yale) served as instructers along with Owls' coach Adam Cohen and current members of the women's soccer team.

The clinic was just one example of many community outreach events that SCSU student-athletes will take part in during the 2009-10 academic year 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.
