CARSON, Calif. -- The Cal State Dominguez Hills womens basketball team continues its preseason practice of community outreach, already having completed two of the scheduled four visits to Broadacre Avenue Elementary School, just southeast of the CSUDH campus in Carson, Calif.

Now in their second year visiting Broadacre Avenue Elementary School, this year's Toros spend an hour and a half per session with the students, providing Broadacre with positive student-athlete role models from within its own community. During these 90-minute intervals, the CSUDH student-athletes tutor, counsel and share stories with the elementary students, all under the direction of the school's administrators.

According to head coach Van Girard, this opportunity is "our chance to provide positive examples to children in our local community."

Coach Girard's squad is scheduled for two more visits to the Broadacre Avenue Elementary campus this fall, and four additional visits set for the spring semester.
