Westport P.A.L. is proud to have Performance Physical Therapy and Wellness providing
sports injury and athletic training services.
IN-SEASON TRAINING TIPS
As always, an athlete should listen to their body. If there seem to be re-occurring injuries to the same area of the body during sports participation,
it may be attributed to over-patterning. The best course of action is proper medical care and rest!

Westport PAL Football 2019 Registration is Open.
In response to parent feedback and league evaluations, in addition to our 5th - 8th-grade tackle football program,
Westport PAL Football is introducing a new Travel Flag football option this Fall for 3rd and 4th grade to augment our House Flag football.
Our 2019 PAL Football lineup for this Fall will be as follows:
Travel Flag Football will be for players interested in a more competitive football experience where coaches will be teaching safe football fundamentals and key skills such as throwing, catching, ball carrying and blocking techniques. Certified coaches will conduct practices in accordance with PAL and Staples Football curriculum and fundamentals. PAL may cap registration at 2 teams per grade and hold evaluations to select rosters.
Teams will practice twice per week with a game on the weekends. (PAL will make efforts to avoid conflicts with travel soccer).
Note: there will be no Tackle football option for 3rdand 4th graders.
For inquiries, please contact Dave Smith at davidosmith7777@gmail.com.
To ensure a great experience for every player, we will hold tryouts for each position. Teams will practice 3 days per week with a game on the weekend.For inquiries, please contact Ben Talbott at ben@birdseyesports.com or Jon Kelson at jkelson@dmoc.com.

Westport PAL Youth Rugby
Rugby is a favorite South African sport.
Westporter Steve Perkins was born there and wanted to find a club here for his son.
Deputy Police Chief Sam Arciola and Westport police officer Ned Batlin helped Steve organize a rugby program,
through the Westport PAL. Westport’s Parks & Recreation Department also helped.
Staples High School head rugby coach David Lyme has helped the program grow into 3 teams:
Under 10 (non-contact), and U-12 and U-14 (full contact). Very quickly, the young Westporters have become formidable ruggers.
They’ll feed into the Staples program, which currently fields 4 teams for nearly 100 players.
In the photo above, Steve’s son Ari Perkins (blue) battles Aspetuck, in U-14 action at Wakeman Field.
