Boston Breakers News Release


The Boston Breakers are creating a groundbreaking instructional video series for parents and coaches, combining expert advice on the unique coaching needs of girls with the latest training advances for preventing the serious injuries increasingly associated with young female athletes.

The Breakers, one of America's premier women's professional soccer teams, today launched a campaign on the crowdfunding website Kickstarter to support the project.

"We believe this project will address a critical need," said Breakers General Manager Lee Billiard. "America has the best female soccer players in the world, and soccer gives girls benefits that last a lifetime. But only if it's taught the right way."

There are currently hundreds of books, videos, courses, and online resources devoted to coaching youth soccer. Remarkably, almost none of it is aimed specifically at girls - despite a growing body of research that shows girls have unique needs when it comes to successful coaching techniques and injury prevention.
