Our 2024 Special Skills Clinic Series


 

SUNDAY JUNE 30 3-5pm

EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT: Our soccer-focused friends at Premier Physical Therapy are coming to teach Own Touch about ACL injury prevention! ACL tears are an epidemic within both the men’s and women’s game, so let’s do something about it! We’ll be running a special class on Sunday, June 30th from 3-5 pm which will cost $45 per player. (20% off for Mentees)

We’ll split the players into two groups, with the first group (and their parents!) being taught by Dr. Phil Welsh, owner of Premier PT, about the ACL, how it works, and how to keep it healthy. This will be 60 minutes of learning and fun, interactive work. The other group will be coached by Own Touch for 60 minutes working on specific soccer technical work that can help work with you to prevent ACL injuries, then we’ll switch groups!

 Phil has worked with a number of our athletes on injury prevention and rehabilitation. He played club college soccer at Boston University and continues to play on a weekly basis around the Charlotte area. Additionally, Phil has his FIFA Diploma in Football Medicine which he uses with his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree to treat soccer players on a daily basis. He also worked with the Charlotte FC Academy medical team from 2021-2022. He lives and breathes the beautiful game and can’t wait to teach you how to take care of yourselves before injuries happen!
