Carson, CA – The Cal State Dominguez Hills Men’s Soccer team took time out of its spring workouts to visit Caldwell Street Elementary School on April 27, joining community members as part of the school’s “College Career Day.”

The Far West Champions spent time with the students answering questions ranging from post-graduation options to reasons the team likes the sport, and had the chance to demonstrate their talents with a soccer ball in front of an enthusiastic group of first and second graders.

“Visiting the kids at Caldwell was a great experience, not only for the players who attended, but for the coaching staff as well,” begins CSUDH men’s and women’s soccer assistant coach Jeff Tuttle. “It’s always fulfilling spending time with kids and talking about college and CSUDH soccer, and I’m glad both our student-athletes and the kids at Caldwell had a chance to experience this opportunity.”

In addition to the Toros soccer team, police, paramedic, and firefighters from the city of Compton were all in attendance.
