by Administrator on September 29, 2007

Coach Rogers says there is good coverage of the Quincy Soccer Classic is the Quincy Herald-Whig. Unfortunately, the articles must only appear in the print edition because I do not see them online.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has a story about Friday’s results, but it only covers the St. Louis area teams.

Program Works to Prevent Torn ACLs in Female Athletes

by Administrator on September 28, 2007

USA Today has an interesting article about a program in New York designed to prevent torn ACLs in female athletes.

The Prevent injury, Enhance Performance, or PEP, program reduced non-contact ACL tears by up to 88% in a two-year study of 1,400 NCAA Division I female soccer players by Santa Monica Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Research Foundation.

“It’s a proven training program,” said DeVinney, foundation vice president and chief program officer.

Each ACL injury can cost $17,000 in surgical repair and rehabilitation, not counting possible future complications, such as osteoarthritis or total knee arthroplasty, which are believed to occur more often in ACL-deficient or ACL-reconstructed knees. On top of that is the emotional and psychological cost.
