The American Chiropractic Association's Council on Sports Injuries and Physical Fitness became one of the founding sponsors of the newly formed US Track Coaches Association. In return for the Sports Council's fundraising support, the member coaches of the US Track Coaches Assoc., will be notified that the ACA Sports Council will provide chiropractic services upon request to track and field athletes from Division I, II, and III schools of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
The Sports Council will provide treatment at these collegiate track and field competitions at no charge to the teams. For many of the young athletes, this will be their first contact with chiropractic care. While the DCs will be working with the existing medical staffs of the college and university teams, not all the schools have a medical staff. Having DCs available at such schools will be a tremendous addition to their athletic programs.
The member coaches were notified of their new alliance with the Sports Council through the October edition of the US Track Coaches Assoc. Newsletter. At the US Track Coaches national convention, Dec. 3-5 in Las Vegas, the coaches will also hear of the new affiliation with the Sports Council.
