Academic Support
USC Team Members spend half of their programming time in our classroom space. Academic and programming staff engage students in homework help, literacy development, ACT & SAT tutoring, and college support. Ultimately, USC aims to help each of student pursue personally meaningful post-secondary opportunities.
Squash
When not in the classroom, USC Team Members are on the squash courts. With regular squash practice and competitions, USC student-athletes develop healthy habits, endurance, coordination, physical and mental awareness, hard-work and discipline. Beyond these benefits, squash serves as wonderful vehicle that connects our team with meaningful opportunities in the Cleveland community and beyond.
Enrichment
The Cleveland community is integral to USC’s success. We strive to expose our Team Members to the the best their city has to offer. Close to home, USC student-athletes participate in community service projects, field trips, internships and partnership programs including Squash Health. The USC team also hits the road for colleges visits, squash tournaments, camps and other enrichment opportunities.
