The National Athletic Trainers’ Association has recently released some important safety standards when it comes to youth sports. As our safety pro, they want to keep kids safe for the well-being and health of young athletes.
Is your child in sports? NATA has great resources to advocating for your school to have access to an athletic trainer.
- AtYourOwnRisk.org/youth-sports has information about sports specialization and a downloadable PDF with health and safety recommendations for specializing.
- Go4Ellis.com is a great resource for youth organizations looking to hire an athletic trainer for their games or tournaments.
- AtYourOwnRisk.org/the-role-of-parents has a downloadable checklist for questions that every parent should ask before their child starts in a sports program.
We were thrilled to welcome Monica Lorenzo, national trainer for the Knicks City Dancers to The Modern Motherhood Podcast this week. She digs into extracurricular activities, balancing them for your family and making the right choices to help your kids stay safe and succeed.
