Catalog Description: The University of Minnesota Department of Family Medicine and Community Health; Division of Sports Medicine sponsors a Sports Medicine course held immediately prior to the start of the USA Soccer Cup Tournaments every July. This course consists of didactic lectures and hands on workshops focusing on sports medicine topics with an emphasis on soccer. The FMCH Division of Sports Medicine faculty help to provide medical coverage of the tournaments. The USA Soccer Cup Tournaments are held in Blaine, MN at the National Sports Center and are the largest youth soccer tournament in the country drawing teams nationally and internationally.
