NORWALK, Conn. – Head coach Lisa Barbaro and members of the Southern Connecticut State University volleyball team traveled to Norwalk on Thursday night to host a mini-clinic for a group of athletes. The clinic was in advance of this weekend’s Connecticut state Special Olympics competition in New Haven.
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.
