Recognize to Recover is a program aimed at promoting safe play and reducing injuries in soccer players of all ages. The first-of-its-kind program was developed with the help of medical experts to provide coaches, players, parents and referees with information, guidance and additional educational materials to improve the prevention and management of injuries.

Just recently there was a U.S. Soccer Health & Safety Summit. Experts covered 11 topics with the most up-to-date health and safety strategies. For those that missed it, U.S. Soccer recorded that session and you can find it here: http://www.recognizetorecover.org/health-and-safety-summit#2022-summit
