- Soccer poses a high risk of injury for children and adolescents.
- The FIFA 11+ Kids program is designed to reduce soccer-related injuries.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess Swiss soccer coaches' awareness and utilization of the FIFA 11+ Kids program.
- To identify implementation challenges for this injury prevention program.
Main Methods:
- Online survey distributed to 237 male youth soccer coaches (ages 7-13) in a Swiss canton.
- 6-month implementation of the FIFA 11+ Kids program in three soccer teams, with staff monitoring utilization and coach compliance.
Main Results:
- Only 14% of coaches knew of FIFA injury prevention programs; 10 used FIFA 11+ Kids.
- No coaches consistently applied the program twice weekly; one abandoned it.
