All sports have a risk of injury. Fortunately, for the vast majority of youth, the benefits of sports participation outweigh the risks. To reduce the risk of injury: *Increase flexibility. Stretching exercises after games or practice can increase flexibility. Stretching should also be incorporated into a daily fitness plan. *Use the proper technique. This should be reinforced during the playing season. Although common, injuries can be avoided. Call Therapy Services at Pella Regional at 641-628-6623 for more on how to prevent injuries.
