April, following in the footsteps of her mother, is starting soccer. Her mom started soccer at age 4. Lucinda played on competitive leagues, at the middle school level, high school level, college level and now in the adult leagues. Soccer has been in our family for 23 years.

The program April enrolled in is Smart Start Soccer. Its central focus is on developing skills. They learn how to trap, pass, dribble and work as a team. There are no games, no pressure, just a relaxing atmosphere to learn about the game of soccer with their friends. It is a very impressive building block for 4-5 year olds as an introduction to soccer. It is sponsored through our local parks and recreation department.

Chiropractic is a "Smart Start" for youth as well. Children who are starting a sports program are more susceptible to injuries because they have slower reaction times than adults. They are less coordinated and still in the process of growing. Children take many falls, strain muscles and add new stress to their spine. A chiropractor understands the unique needs of children in sports and knows how the game affects the spine. Most professional sport teams have a chiropractor on staff to enhance athlete performance, reduce injuries and help injuries heal quicker. Like professionals, children in sports also need to have their spine checked on a regular basis to make sure their spine, extremities and nerve system are functioning properly to enhance performance. This allows them to function at a higher level, prevent injury and removes any impediments to healing, should an injury take place.
