ACL injuries have sidelined too many NWUnited players.  Some permanently.  ACL injuries are preventable and saving just one player from having to undergo knee surgery is worth investiqating and adopting a proven program to reduce frequency of that injury. And the recommended ACL program is a good initial activity for any practice.

All parents and players must read and sign a “Concussion Information Sheet” in order to participate in the Washington Youth Soccer.  You can confirm that you have read the form on-line at www.skvysa.org.  Go to “Member Log-in”, enter your username and password, and read the form.  In addition, forms are available here:  English Version.  Spanish Version.  For more information email Eric Magnuson

Mmanagers should carry signed copies of the Concussion Information Sheet, along with their signed “consent to treat” forms, to every game and practice.

Thanks

There was a time when many teams maintained a team website.   There are several options for doing it.

• See if there is a parent or manager on the team who builds websites.
• Check out eteamz.  Those are flexible and fairly easy to set up.  Tons of teams use them.
• Inside Soccer allows you to create very nice websites.  30 day trial, then $40 per year.  See intro page.
• If you are interested in creating a free team website, email Anna Schoneker. See her website for the GU12-Hansen team.   It is very nice.
• If you already have a team website and would like a link to it posted on the Club website, please send the URL to NWUnited Communications.

Parents, coaches, players

Please read this article on the ByteSize Soccer web site.  A great reminder of appropriate and inappropriate sideline behavior that will help make the game enjoyable for all.

Here is a strengthening and stretching program to reduce ACL tears. It has had great results in controlled research trials. The program was highlighted in the August issue of Play-On. The risk of ACL tears is higher in girls than in boys. Take a look here.
