September 30, 2014

Cincinnati Saints, Cincinnati Public

Schools, and Activities Beyond the

Classroom Form Partnership
 

The Cincinnati Saints are proud to announce a partnership with Activities Beyond

the Classroom (ABC) and Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS) . This partnership falls into

the Saints' mission of giving back and growing soccer in Cincinnati.
 

Activities Beyond the Classroom exists to provide support to Cincinnati Public

Schools' students for engagement in extracurricular activities throughout the year,

offering opportunities to build leadership, teamwork, responsibility and self-discipline

to help students succeed in life.
 

This is a hands-on partnership for the Cincinnati Saints organization. Along with

financial support, Saints players and coaches will participate in soccer programs for

CPS by ABC for students in fourth through sixth grades. There currently are 25 CPS

schools participating in the girls program. There also is a pilot program for the boys at

Roberts Academy in Price Hill.
 

Along with this partnership, Stargel Stadium, at Taft Information Technology High

School, will be branded "The Home of the Cincinnati Saints." The Saints will also

make game-day upgrades to the stadium's concessions and overall fan experience for

the 2016 National Premier Soccer League season. In 2015, Stargel Stadium will

undergo facility upgrades, including a new field turf, improved internet capacity, and

individual seating.
 

The Cincinnati Saints, founded in 2009, play in the National Premier Soccer

League. The Lady Saints play in the Women's Premier Soccer League. The

organization also competes in the Major Arena Soccer League Premier. The Saints

organization is committed to giving back and growing the game of soccer in

Cincinnati; more info at CincinnatiSaints.com.
 

Activities Beyond the Classroom is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that raises

private funds from corporations, foundations and individuals. It awards these funds to

support a variety of extracurricular activities; more info at ABCCincy.org.

Cincinnati Public Schools offers families more high-quality school choices and

academic programs than any other system in the Tri-state. CPS continues to lead

Ohio's eight large-city school districts in overall student performance; more info at
