Greensboro Offers Youth Sports Day
May 20, 2004 -
Approximately 70 students
from nearby Washington Elementary School descended on the
Greensboro College campus for interaction with Pride student-athletes
The fifth grade students moved from station-to-station on campus and at
the Royce Reynolds Family Student Life Center. Members of Pride
football, basketball and soccer teams offered basic instruction on their
respective sports.
"This is a great way for our
student-athletes to give back to the community," said Jonathan Dudley,
President of GC's Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC)-sponsor of
the event. "Also, being part of an athletic team can keep you out of
trouble, develop leadership skills and help you make many friends. If we
can open the door for a future in college
for at least
one person, then the program is a success."
The program was part of the Healthy Community/Healthy Youth outreach. The project was also organized in conjunction with Village 401, an initiative that emphasizes the college's commitment to serving the needs of the surrounding community sharing its ZIP code, 27401.
