Many of the sports our children are involved in entail a lot of dynamic - explosive movements. Whether it's soccer, basketball, baseball, football, volleyball, there is a lot of sprinting, quick direction changes, jumping, throwing and lunging.
These movements can wreak havoc on our shoulders, knees and hips.
It is essential that young athletes involved in such activities have the appropriate level of load bearing exercise to complement these activities.
Of course, good coaches incorporate as much strength training as possible but there is only so much time available to them and many lack the background necessary to develop and implement the necessary and appropriate training program. That's where CMC can help!

A typical program will include two 30 minute sessions a week but may vary depending on their age, schedule and experience level.
