The world of youth sports has advanced dramatically in the last ten years. Today’s young athletes have specialized athletic training facilities at their disposal; a service that used to be exclusive to professional athletes. These facilities can be extremely beneficial to the development of young athletes that no longer participate in developmentally specific physical education or who play year around at a highly intensive level of competition that increases the risk of injury absent quality training. The key to taking advantage of this new opportunity is identifying which facilities can provide the injury prevention and improvement that young athletes need.
