James and Cathy
Recommendations
# 2) These NMT
programs should begin
by the early teenage
years (Level A)
Recommendations

should give effective
feedback on the
performance of the
drills, and players
should learn from
watching each other
perform tasks
Recommendations

Provincial soccer
governing bodies should
develop age-specific ACL
injury prevention
programs and monitor
these programs for
effectiveness based on
the latest available
evidence (Level B)
Recommendations
# 5) Soccer teams
should collaborate
with a qualified health
or PE professional in
the institution of an
ACL injury prevention
program for the team’s
training session

organizations of sport
medicine physicians
and all therapy
