Emory Sport Medicine - CoachSafely Webinar - August 12

Emory Youth Sports Medicine and CoachSafely Foundation Back to School Youth Sports Conference
Emory Youth Sports Medicine and The Georgia CoachSafely Foundation present

Back to School and Youth Sports Safety:
A Georgia Community Huddle

This conference will focus on preparing youth coaches for return to school and sports. Emory youth sports physicians will discuss keeping youth athletes safe and healthy and caring for them on the sidelines. There will also be a presentation from Emory's cutting edge research facility, SPARC, about how we can better evaluate our youth athletes and prevent injuries. In addition we will have a presentation from Atlanta Falcons personnel and medical staff on their experience from professional athletes. This should provide great preparation for the upcoming season and exciting news on the future of sports medicine.

There will be both an "in person" conference at the Emory SPARC facility for the first 40 registrants and a zoom/virtual option. The Emory SPARC facility is located at 4450 Falcon Pkwy, Flowery Branch, GA 30542
