Two options are available; a March 1 through June 1 session and one that goes from April 16 through June 8. Registration opens on Thursday.

Injury prevention

Young athletes are at high risk for overuse and traumatic injuries, and Sutter Physical and Hand Therapy is starting a program to help decrease injury risk and enhance performance.

Weekly one-hour sessions are sport-specific and are designed to support high-level performance with strength, conditioning, agility and plyometrics training. Led by physical therapists, the training will allow for early detection of injuries and preventative care in order to keep young athletes performing well and having fun.

The first session is geared toward baseball and softball players ages 7 to 18 and will meet from 5 to 6 p.m. Tuesdays, starting this week at the Sutter physical therapy clinic on Lake Boulevard.

Sessions are four to six weeks long and are open to all youth baseball and softball players. The cost is $60 to $90 per athlete for each session. Another weekday session will be added as needed to meet the demand. Players will be grouped by age.

Soccer, volleyball and swimming sessions will be run concurrently, starting in March. Additionally, Sutter offers a six-week post-operative rehab group following ACL surgery for return to sport, and organizes ACL prevention camps for athletes as well.

Correction

Two photos on Thursday’s B2 that went with the article “Winter of ’62” had incorrect information. One player was incorrectly identified as the late Gary Millay is actually Gary Yoder. The other player, Don Dachtler, was listed as deceased but he is not. Yoder, a Davis resident, and Dachtler will both be on hand Wednesday when the Blue Devil boys basketball team honors the 1962 undefeated DHS squad.
