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.
