SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Syracuse volleyball team met with a number of Syracuse area children on Thursday in Manley Field House as part of the “Shooting for A’s” program.

“This is one of the long-standing programs that we really enjoy coming back to every year,” said Syracuse Parks and Recreation Department Program Director Chris Abbott. “It’s been so successful because we feel as if the student-athletes have as much fun as the kids. It’s just a great atmosphere for the kids to learn from a number of positive role models.”
The volleyball team fielded questions from the children that ranged from the importance of their studies at Syracuse to helpful ways for managing time. Following the open forum, the team coordinated a game of freeze tag before providing some instructional tips for playing volleyball.
The “Shooting for A’s” program is just one of many 'Cuse Cares community service projects SU student-athletes are involved with in this area. The 'Cuse Cares Program, supported by Citizens Bank - New York, is the community outreach program for student-athletes at Syracuse University. SU's student-athletes have been recognized with SU's Chancellor's Award for Public Service and Community Engagement in each of the past 11 years for their volunteer efforts in the community. Citizens Bank invests in and is a leader in the communities it serves.
