What are people saying about KIPP?

• "We are very fortunate to participate in the KIPP program. It was so beneficial, not only to our athletes, but also to our coaching staff as well. It gave us the tools to be able to identify correct and incorrect mechanics that are often the culprit of significant injuries. By doing so, we have been able to retrain our athletes to utilize proper mechanics which has made them stronger and more efficient in their movement. In addition to that, our girls had a great time with the program. Last year we had only one knee injury, and that was a player who did not go through the KIPP program." — Dave Underwood, Head Girls Soccer Coach (2003-07), Wheaton Academy
• "I thought the KIPP program helped me a lot. I feel it taught me to land on both feet and I also learned how to not make my knees cave in when I land which will prevent my knees from injuries. I think that this is a good and helpful program and I recommend it to serious athletes like myself." — Aly Lansky, soccer player
