| Therapeutic Associates, Inc. (TAI) provides the athletic
trainers for Salem-Keizer school district's high school sports
programs. They will provide athletic training
service to our club members starting next season. They will
train our coaching staff and bring everyone up to date about sports
injuries and be available for our members.
Chelsey Franz is the Athletic Training Program Director for TAI
and will be responsible for our Club. She will be available on
an on-call basis. Our agreement is simple. A trainer will be at our
practices bi-weekly for one hour starting in January.
Tentative days are first Monday and the third Thursday of each
month. They will be there to check on our players and be
available for questions from players, parents and staff.
For players that attend Salem-Keizer schools,
they offer three visits to the Valley Physical Therapy offices at no
charge. For those outside the SK schools, they offer one
initial visit at no charge.
Their group also provides a Speed, Agility and
Mobility (SAM) program that we will try to put in place for the
Spring Training program.
Here are few links to learn more about TAI and
SAM.
