REDUCING RISK FOR SPORTS INJURIES 3/24/15

More than 1.35 million children were treated for a sports-related injury in hospital emergency departments across the country. These figures do not include youngsters who are treated by their pediatrician, in urgent care or sports medicine centers. The presenters will discuss the most common sports injuries in children and adolescents, discuss the features of a safe sports program and describe steps to reduce the risk of injuries in school sports. They will summarize guidelines for the evalu­ation and treatment of sports injuries and stress the importance of follow­ing recommendations for adequate recovery and rehabilitation.

These workshops will be held at the Valley Road campus of William Paterson University, 1600 Valley Road in Wayne, NJ. You must register on line in advance for the sessions you wish to attend.
