6 Ways to Reduce Soccer Injuries

09/01/09

1. Stretching, warm-ups and cool downs.
Stretching will reduce the risk of strains and sprains. Stretching is particularly critical for soccer players between the ages of 10 and 13 who have less natural flexibility because their bones are growing faster than their muscles.
