Auberle Students, Soccer Players Enjoy Day of Play

Category: Announcements || By Submitted Report

The Penn State Greater Allegheny women's soccer team joined together last Saturday with McKeesport-based Auberle to play games, get to know the children and participate in a game of soccer.

Auberle, which helps troubled children and families heal themselves, is located next to the Penn State campus in McKeesport.

The soccer players took time away from their studies to volunteer March 29 at Auberle, playing games, getting to know the children and playing a game of soccer.

The women were welcomed by the staff and boys of Auberle, as they all played introductory games to get to know one another.

After the games, head coach Ashley Davis took the group outside and assisted them in drills and activities. The student-athletes were excellent mentors and made friends with the kids while they displayed their abilities and sportsmanship to the eager youngsters.

Auberle Therapeutic Recreation Coordinator Ralph K. Wagley and his staff were extremely welcoming as the women completed the day with a pickup game of soccer and shared lunch with the Auberle children.

"The Penn State Greater Allegheny women's soccer team would like to say thank you to Auberle for allowing us to come in and spend the morning with them," Davis said. "We would like to collaborate with them again, and hopefully get everyone to campus for a Greater Allegheny game in the fall."
