SKYLINE IS EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH
CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL COLORADO!
Children’s Hospital Colorado’s Sports Medicine Center and Skyline Soccer formed a partnership to promote the health and wellness of the entire organization. Children’s Colorado is Skyline Soccer’s Preferred Healthcare Provider. At Children’s Colorado, their board-certified sports medicine experts only see young athletes. Because their team is specially trained in pediatrics, they understand how an injury may impact growth, or how growth might impact rehabilitation. They also offer supportive care in areas like sports nutrition and sports psychology.
In partnership with other top specialists at Children’s Colorado, they are always developing new programs for sports-related conditions. Through our partnership, we will have an athletic trainer onsite providing medical coverage for our practices, games and hosted tournaments. Our members will also receive educational tips and resources to ensure our athletes remain healthy and help prevent injury.

Is breakfast a struggle in the morning? Many athletes are rushing out the door and often skip the most important meal of the day. But after fasting all night, an athlete’s body needs fuel in the morning to help kickstart the brain, restore glycogen (stored form of glucose) for activity and continue to recover. Try these fast and easy breakfast ideas:
- Hard boiled eggs, a granola bar and fruit
- Peanut butter and jelly sandwich with fruit
- Greek yogurt with fruit and granola
- Frozen breakfast items like burritos, sandwiches or scramble cups (with toast) with fruit
- Frozen muffins with fruit and cheese
- Bagel with cream cheese with fruit and milk
- Toast with peanut butter and milk
- A granola bar with string cheese and fruit
