Team Community Outreach
Global citizens committed to living a contributive life…
Learning the importance of service to others…
Leaders of culture in the community…
Leaders of humanism in society…
Our student athletes live out these values treasured by the university beyond the classroom, field, pool, and track. In the midst of juggling school, sports, and extracurricular activities, they make the time to serve the community as one team and represent the Soka Athletic Department. Through our Team Community Outreach Program, our student athletes have various opportunities throughout the academic year to get involved and serve the community. Check out some of the community outreach events and consider being a part of a team where the athletes value making a difference in the community!
Men’s Soccer Team Teaches Clinics at Local Elementary School
The Soka Soccer Team just finished eight sessions of teaching soccer skills and tactics to boys and girls at RH Dana Elementary School, located in Dana Point. Thirty kids participated in the program, and Principal Chris Weber deemed it a complete success.
The eight-session clinic ended with a big game between the Soka Soccer team and the kids. The game ended in a 3-3 tie and everyone in attendance had a great time!
Athletes Lend a Helping Hand to the Breast Cancer Angels Organization
The Breast Cancer Angels Organization provided funds, while eight student athletes spent one morning shopping and wrapping children's gifts for mothers who were too ill to move about.
We are also proud to announce that the Athletic Department and the Orange County Rescue Mission forged a long-term partnership! Through this partnership, our student athletes will have the opportunity to serve the least, the last, and the lost in our local community. Some community outreach events will include serving meals to the homeless, organizing food drives, assisting with food packaging, working at the ranch for abused and neglected youth, delivering Christmas gifts to families, and coordinating sports camps. Our student athletes will be able to reach out and lend a helping out in many practical ways.
