The National Council of Youth Sports (NCYS), Stuart, Fla, and Preferred Sports Provider Network (PSPN), Phoenix, are partnering to help athletes prevent injury, increase their physical ability, build strength, and perform better.

“The NCYS is excited about the opportunity to work with the Preferred Sports Provider Network as an additional resource to our members and their colleagues in the youth sports industry,” said NCYS executive director Sally S. Johnson in an announcement. “These services are normally not covered by insurance, yet there are many athletes looking to improve their performance, become stronger, and stay healthy.”

A service of Preferred Therapy Providers Inc, PSPN is a network of contracted physical and occupational therapy practices that offer sports enhancement and injury prevention services at a discount. PSPN will provide tips and expertise from physical therapists and athletic trainers to the coaches, athletes, and parents of NCYS members through communications such as e-mails, webinars, and newsletters.

PSPN providers are located within physical therapy clinics, and are highly trained PTs or certified athletic trainers. According to PSPN, on average their providers charge less than athletic training facilities.
