Calling all Coaches and Athletic Trainers!

The Institute for Sports Medicine at Children’s Memorial Hospital has teamed up with the Chicago Fire Foundation to offer KIPP for Coaches, a tool to help coaches reduce the risk of knee injuries in their female athletes. KIPP for Coaches is a 15-minute warm-up routine of total body strengthening exercises, plyometrics, balance training, agility drills, and active stretching.  Research has shown that the KIPP exercises can reduce knee sprains by 75% and ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tears by 84%. 

There will be several FREE training sessions this summer where participants will learn how to recognize risk factors for knee injuries and incorporate KIPP exercises into their team’s warm-up.  Participants receive:·        

• Laminated card with the list of KIPP exercises for use on-court or on-field
• Instructional DVD
• Continuing education units (CEUs) for Athletic Trainers (2 hours)
