Игроки женской волейбольной команды NKU провели тренировку с жителями дома престарелых в Ковингтоне

NKU volleyball players visit Covington assisted living residents CINCINNATI (WKRC) - Residents at a Covington assisted living facility spent part of yesterday getting active with help from local college athletes. Members of the Northern Kentucky University women’s volleyball team visited St. Charles Community, where they played chair volleyball with residents. A former member of the team started the tradition a few years ago. Staff members said the visit helps brighten residents’ days and gives them a reason to get out and socialize. “The residents look forward to it. As soon as I tell them, you know, it’s on the schedule, they start practicing,” said Jayden Julian, human resources coordinator at St. Charles Community. “Again, just for them to get out of their rooms, especially on a gloomy day like this, to have NKV volleyball come, it means the world to them.” NKU player Katie Noschang said community service is a priority for the team. “Volunteering is really important. We do a lot of different community service throughout the year because we think it’s really important to get out into our community,” Noschang said. Some residents have attended NKU volleyball games in the past, while others plan to watch via live stream. The team’s season starts next week.
