If you have any interest, you can sign up, by clicking the "Clearwater Fast Footwork Friday" button, all the way at the bottom of www.soccerscience.us. You also have the opportunity to obtain free instructional workouts for your player through the Soccer Science website. These workouts load up to an ipod, that had a screen on it and shows video, so that players can receive video instruction while they are with the ball at their feet learning the moves. If you have any questions, please direct them to myself Ben Cowherd, as I am coaching the sessions. I can be reached by email at soccer.science@yahoo.com or by phone at (813) 334-7466. Also, any players that are in need of volunteer hours for academic qualifications, please let me know, as we have volunteer positions open for the time slots of Fast Footwork Friday.

9. Preventive Injury for the Soccer Player-
The Chargers have embarked on a program to try and prevent soccer
related injuries before they happen. This is cutting edge material used
on many Pro Sports Teams and now for the 1st time brought to a
youth sports organization. This involves testing players to see if they
are at high risk, customizing exercises to prevent injuries, doing proper
warm ups and cool downs and seeing the correct specialist before injuries
happen and surgery is needed. The Chargers have contracted with two
local professionals who have been instrumental in develping this program
and will be official consultants for the club to players on injuries:
Dr. Nishin Tambay, Sports Rahab and intervention Medicine

Lisa Chase, Physical Therapist

Preventive Injury Program:
1. Lisa Chase Credentials
2. Soccer Mechanics
3. Evaluation Options
Feel free to contact Dr. Tambay for Clinical issues and Lisa Chase for therapy issues.
Injuries like chronic hamstrings, groins, knee pain and more serious ones like ACL, and torn ligaments can be prevented if identified in advance allowing for players to avoid missing months of team activity, or career ending surgeries or very expensivsurgery and rehab.
