ACL Injury Prevention

January 25th, 2010

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.

Your Club needs Volunteers

May 8th, 2009

Lots of interesting and important jobs. Parents contact NW United Communications to discuss your interests. Coaches, talk to your parents about volunteering with our club.

Cost of Select Soccer

May 4th, 2009

An Important Note to Parents About Select Fees:  All across the State, select soccer fees are higher than the fees families are used to paying in recreation soccer.  This is primarily because:

  1. In select soccer, there is a lot more soccer: more tournaments, more league play and more training.  And it’s usually over 10 months rather than the 2 months typical of rec ball; and
  2. Kids learn more and learn it faster with higher level coaches and trainers.

To address this, NWUnited has a substantial scholarship program for families who need that assistance.  In addition, many teams raise additional funds through sponsorships, car washes, bake sales, etc.  These extra funds can be used to lower the casts for all on the team or just for those who most need assistance in order to keep playing the game they love.

ACL Protection Program

Coaches, Players, Parents

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.
