Sheddon Physiotherapy and Sports Clinic (SPSC) is a new-age physio in Oakville. Although we are a multi-disciplinary healthcare clinic, we believe in giving back to your community.
Enthusiastic about promoting girls’ soccer in Oakville, we are a proud sponsor of the Future Girls Soccer Academy. They are based in Oakville but participate in the established soccer pool in Mississauga.
Research shows that by age fourteen girls drop out of sports at twice the rate of boys. One of the main reasons is that girls have less access to sports. Another reason is a lack of positive role models. The Future Girls Soccer Academy addresses both problems.
Future Girls Soccer build positive role models
With yesterday being International Women’s Day, what better time to announce Sheddon Physiotherapy and Sports Clinics sponsorship of the new soccer academy led by female coaches inspiring young female athletes – Future Girls Soccer.
Future Girls occer is the first and only ALL GIRLS soccer academy in Ontario. Their all-female coaching staff has decades of coaching and playing experience in the U.S.-based National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and at the international level.
They have programs for girls aged 4-14 years old across all skill levels, including development house leagues, goalie training, skills development, competitive programs and summer camps. Their mission is to develop all their players into strong young ladies, impressive soccer players and healthy athletes. For more information check out their website here.
Sheddon is excited to be working with Future Girls Soccer and assisting with education, injury prevention, sport specific rehabilitation and performance both on and off the field.
In the past, Sheddon’s Athletic Therapist Anson Ly recently gave a presentation to the U12 girls. He discussed injury prevention and basic nutrition guidance for young athletes, as well as demonstrating the “PAIRS Program” a Prevention Program to Assist with Injury Reduction in Sport. If you would like a handout of Anson’s presentation, including a downloadable copy of the PAIRS program, click here.
More about the PAIRS Program
Sports injuries can be reduced if proper muscle patterning/memory is taught. The Prevention program to Assist with Injury Reduction in Sport (PAIRS) is a ten-minute, structured injury-prevention program. It can be used by male and female athletes of all ages participating in field and court sports.
The basics of PAIRS is demonstrated by having future girls pair up facing each other. They would then mirror each other while going through a set of movements. No equipment is required.
