Girls. Training. And ACL Tears.
Girls don't need a 3 day ACL program or a 5 minute ACL Warm up.
Girls don't need a 6-8 wk bootcamp.
It is not a one off thing you do in a 3 day clinic or a 10 minute warm up. It's not a bootcamp right before the season just to not continue with training while in-season.
Girls need sound, progressive and comprehensive S&C 2-3x wk for at least 40 wks during the year during their off and in-season competition periods.
Quad Strength. Glute strength. Landing mechanics. Deceleration. Pivoting/Twisting. Taking contact. Conditioning. Agility. Isometrics. Power work. Etc.. cannot be neglected for weeks or MONTHS on end. It is total negligence to go months without a weight room session or even a break in a kids schedule to make time for training.
It's a year round plan of attack to do the best we can to mitigate risk.
Girls sports and those involved need to do better and what is in our power/control.

Love that these guys are also focused on producing excellence apart from vague 'life' and 'leadership' lessons through football.
Just do football. The life and leadership lessons come in-built into the game.
Hi @IndianFootball, since you're soliciting suggestions, it might be worth looking into the concerns of those who are working in the underserved areas of the country and delivering results.
As a fullback, you should avoid being outside of the straight line of the ball holder, as this will open gaps for opponent to utilize. Very important defensive concept.
A crucial foundation for the attacking midfielder is:
- Recognize if the ball is not under pressure
- To position oneself in a higher position, preferably in the square
- Identify if the defender is pressing to play a final pass behind his back
Vs. 433: FB becomes the free player when opponent winger press the CB. We also see the closest player to the ball understand the press and give emergency support
