My daughter just completed her first season of JO Volleyball.  She had a blast and learned some new skills along the way.  One of the skills that many of the girls could still use some work on is vertical jumping, not just for gaining height, but also to learn to land properly to avoid injury to knees and ankles.  I recently read another article on how many knee injuries are plaguing girls and women in sports, particularly basketball and soccer.  Many of these injuries could have been avoided with some strengthening of joints and core and knowledge of proper landing techniques.   With that in mind, I am offering for spring a kids Vertical Jump Training Class for grades 5 – 8.  It will take place at Forza on Thursdays from 3:30 – 4:30 starting April 14 and going until June 2.  I’d love to see these kids continue to play the sports they love without being sidelined by injuries.  To sign up, email me or call 507-271-2210.
