WWPSA is pleased to present an educational seminar on Non-Contact ACL Injury Prevention. This two-part program will be presented by Todd Brown, Co-Founder of the G.O.A.L.S. Training Series.

Introductory Seminar: Thursday 13th March, 7:30pm, West Windsor Library
AND
Practical Presentation: Sunday 16th March, 4:00pm, Millstone Main Gym

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in injuries in female athletes, specifically non-contact ACL tears. Soccer is a high risk sport for non-contact ACL injuries. It is estimated that 55,000 ACL injuries occur each year in female athletes, with an associated cost of $17,000 for repair and rehabilitation per patient. Rehabilitation from this type of injury takes at least 6-10 months.  Current research links a 100 times greater chance of developing osteoarthritis after suffering an ACL tear as opposed to individuals that have not.

This program is designed for female soccer players aged 10-12 as well as their parents and coaches. Learn the basic facts and the practical steps necessary to drastically reduce the risk of an ACL injury. A couple of hours now may save as much as an entire season or year in the future. The program is free.
