The sports medicine community is eager to see what results come out of the four stops on the Protection Tour. Because the events will take place so close to training camp, no current players will be involved in the instruction. However, team alumni will be present.
Players from local youth leagues will attend the sessions at the four locations.
"I think this is a grass-roots opportunity," said Dr. Patrick Kersey, USA Football's medical director and one of the Colts' team doctors. "One of our hopes is we are going to stimulate maybe these potential opportunities in other sports, as well. It's exciting for us to be the first in youth football and I think it will be stimulatory to other youth leagues and sports leagues to potentially get into efforts along these lines."
