MSU Spartan Performance is offering an ACL injury prevention camp for young female athletes.
Preventing non-contact injuries in every athlete is a priority at MSU Spartan Performance, and current statistics indicate that adolescent female athletes have a four-fold increased risk of injury compared to males.
Properly administered injury prevention programs have been shown to decrease the risk of ACL injuries by up to 75%.
Spartan Performance will be offering a two-hour intensive camp to young female athletes on Wednesday, October 5 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. The camp is open to 10- to 18-year-old athletes at the MSU Spartan Performance Clinic located at 4660 S. Hagadorn Road in the Eyde Building.
The session will include video-recorded and analyzed box drop landing mechanics testing; education and training on proper technique for strength training including balance, agility and plyometrics; a home-exercise program based on exercises and drills performed during camp; and sports nutrition.
Cost is $40 per athlete. Team opportunities are also available, and coaches are encouraged to call for pricing.
Spartan Performance continues to provide quality sports performance training, testing and sports nutrition to mid-Michigan youth athletes.
