Okay, so we're exaggerating, but one fan said to me, "Did you ever notice that the girls wearing pre-wrap always beat the ones wearing hair ribbons?"

Pink Pre-wrap for Breast Cancer Awareness
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and many girls' teams throughout the country are wearing pink pre-wrap to support this important cause. In Ohio, the volleyball players have Volley for a Cure where each high school in Ohio that plays interscholastic volleyball is challenged to dedicate one home volleyball match to promote breast cancer education, awareness and fundraising. The Soccer Association of Columbia is hosting a “Breast Cancer Awareness Month” for the entire month of October. They just ordered the Athletic Tape for their team’s shoelaces and the Pre-Wrap for their hair. They'll also use the pink pre-wrap as sleeve holders. Our U14 soccer team wore pink at this weekend's Columbus Day Tournament.
In Maryland, the Quince Orchard Soccer team will wear pink pre-wrap during the month of October to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Here are some ideas from last year!
In Farmingdale, NY - Farmingdale and Old Westbury's women's volleyball teams did a fundraiser and ll of the players wore pink socks during the match to promote breast cancer awareness and the coaches(including the male coaches!) sported pink t-shirts or wore pink pre-wrap. link
Pretty in Pink There’s nothing extraordinary about the Quince Orchard girls soccer team wearing pre-wrap. Most girls soccer players use it to keep those annoying straggling hairs out of their eyes. What is special, however, is that the Cougars are all sporting pink pre-wrap this month. And they’re wearing it to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month, helping facilitate knowledge of the disease among their peers.
‘‘We want to create awareness and get through to whoever is at our games,” said senior defender and captain Chelsea Prentice. ‘‘A lot of us wear pre-wrap anyway, but those who don’t are wearing it on their wrists or around their necks. We just want to show we support breast cancer research and that we’re sympathetic to those who are affected by it.”

Pre-wrap Photos and such
When we first starting selling pre-wrap, there were hardly any places on the web to buy great colored pre-wrap. Now there are sites popping up all over the place. We're glad pre-wrap is so popular. What saddens us are the sites that take our pictures, our words, and our ideas and use them for their own profit. We are teen entrepreneurs and have worked hard to create a site that is all about pre-wrap. Taking our photos to use on your site is NOT okay. The internet is a big place - play fair.

Pre-wrap for Fly Tying
According to this great site with tips for fly tying Flytyersbencht "Pre-wrap builds a nice tapered body on your flies and you can wrap tinsel and dubbing fur over the top of this material. Its uses are limitless to the flytyer." Why not add an extra roll for the fisherman in your life who you never know what to buy for?
It's also called sports wrap and pro-wrap.

Adolescent Knee Pain - Osgood Schlatter Disease
Has your adolescent son or daughter been diagnosed with Osgood Schlatter disease? If so, you may be interested in learning more about the cause and treatment of this common orthopedic problem.
Osgood Schlatter disease was first discovered around the turn of the century by Paget and was later described by two physicians, Osgood and Schlatter, who gave it its name. The disease occurs when the growth of the femur (large bone in the thigh) outpaces the growth of the surrounding supporting tissues. This results in excessive stress being placed on the patella tendon which connects to the tibial tuberosity, located just below the knee cap. The associated stress may set up an inflammatory process, resulting in a partial avulsion fracture. As new bone is laid down to repair the fracture, a bony lump may form at the tibial tuberosity. This bony lump formed is often red and painful to the touch.
Osgood Schlatter disease is a well described cause of knee pain in adolescent girls and boys. In fact, it’s one of the most common causes of knee pain in adolescents who actively participate in sports. It’s most often seen in girls between the ages of 10 and 11 and in males between the ages of 13 and 14. The affected adolescent frequently presents to his or her doctor with tenderness and swelling just below the knee along with pain when jumping, squatting, or going up and down stairs.This disease, although usually benign and self limited, is of particular concern to the adolescent and his family since it may limit the ability of the child to play his chosen sport. In fact, the average adolescent suffering from Osgood Schlatter disease loses up to 18 months sports play time due to pain from this condition.
It may surprise you to learn that up to 20% of athletic adolescents may be affected with Osgood –Schlatter disease. We know that Osgood Schlatter is more common in males, although it can occur in females. It’s most commonly seen during periods of rapid skeletal growth in adolescents who are active in sports, particularly sports involving running and jumping. The repeated process of running and jumping may contribute to the development of the disease by placing excessive strain on the patella tendon that attaches to the tibial tuberosity.
The diagnosis is usually made clinically by a doctor based on the child’s symptoms. An x-ray may be taken to look for evidence of an enlarged tibial tuberosity or the presence of bony fragments from the tibial tuberosity. An x-ray may also be used to distinguish this condition from several other knee related problems which give similar symptoms.
This condition is usually benign and will resolve on its own when the adolescent completes his growth spurt, which usually takes less than a year. Until then, activity levels are based primarily on the severity of symptoms which should be determined with the help of a doctor. Usually the adolescent is instructed to forgo sporting activities that require deep knee bending for at least 3 months. Anti-inflammatory medications are prescribed if the adolescent is able to tolerate them to reduce the pain and inflammation associated with the disease. Application of ice for 15 minutes every 3 hours also helps to reduce the pain and inflammation. Once the acute symptoms have subsided, the doctor may suggest exercises for stretching the quadriceps to reduce the tension on the affected tibial tubercle. In rare cases, surgery may be necessary for cases unresponsive to conventional therapy .Occasionally, an orthopedic brace may be needed if symptoms are severe.

Guys love pre-wrap, too

pre-wrap, prewrap, track meet, underwrap
Went to a middle school track meet. Our team is blue and gold, so I brought a couple of rolls of gold on a very windy day. The girls were thrilled and grabbed pieces to make headbands and bows. The guys could resist. They wore headbands like warriors and couldn't resist playing with the prewrap. The other team had the same color uniform, but we could easily pick out our team by the pre-wrap!

Pre-wrap Entertains Dodger's Rafael Furcal in the Dugout
Just when you think you've found all the uses for pre-wrap we find another! Seems blue pre-wrap can keep you entertained during a long game. Why not wrap yourself like a mummy while hanging out in the dugout? According to Kevin Pearson of PE.com:
"Among the scenes from Sunday's game that have been shown on the highlights was shortstop Rafael Furcal's 17th-inning mummification in the dugout.
The TV camera caught Furcal, who was taken out in the 16th inning, wrapping his head in blue pre-wrap in the dugout. First, it was his forehead, but then it became everything but his eyes that were covered up."

From a pre-wrap pro...
A pre-wrap fan recently told me:
Yeah pre wrap is awesome. I somehow got voted in as the "prewrap headband supplier and maker on my travel team." Our team colors are green and gold so if we wear gold jersey, green shorts, gold socks-I carry my green prewrap. and if we wear all green- I carry my gold prewrap. Most of the girls on my team have no idea how much prewrap to tear off and how to tie it so I have to do it for them. We just toss the prewrap around in our pregame circle but at least we all match. Even the people who used to wear headbands have taken to prewrap and prefer it.
