Children’s Hospital Sports Medicine

Children’s Hospital Colorado (Children’s Colorado) Sports Medicine Center and Littleton Soccer/Colorado United Club recently partnered to promote health and wellness within the club. Children’s Colorado will provide a certified athletic trainer to the club for home games at Cornerstone Park during the league season, at hosted tournaments and at the Littleton Soccer Club office one day per week for visits.

Children’s Colorado will also provide educational content for members in all newsletters, over social media properties and during parent educational nights. This content will help members to stay informed and on top of the latest trends and treatments.

“Partnering with organizations like Littleton Soccer aligns with our mission of bringing medical expertise directly to athletes,” said Bridget Younger, Manager, Sports Medicine Center at Children’s Hospital Colorado. “We keep them safe so they can enjoy the sport they love. Our athletic trainers are an invaluable resource to youth sports organizations, providing immediate care to injured athletes. They also develop best practice policies and emergency action plans to improve the overall safety of competition.”

“We pride ourselves on providing a healthy, safe and enjoyable soccer environment for all our athletes,” said Littleton Soccer Executive Director, Pete Barrett. “We are thrilled to be partnering with Children’s Colorado and our athletes will greatly benefit from this additional support.”
