Injury Prevention for Female Players

Studies have shown that a female soccer player's risk of sustaining an ACL injury is two to eight times greater than her male counterpart. Subsequent studies have shown that adding neuromuscular and proprioceptive exercises to the training regimen can reduce the number of ACL injuries by two to four fold.. The Santa Monica ACL Prevention Project has developed the PEP Program in order to implement a strategic training program to decrease the number of ACL injuries incurred by female soccer players.

 
The attached document describes the PEP program that you can follow to reduce the chance of ACL injuries.  SCAYSO hopes you find it useful.
