These suggestions come from a Soccer Mom – not an authorized medical professional. So please, be sure to check with the appropriate Clinician in your athlete’s life if these are good processes to follow. We had been advised to do these static stretches as our athletes are all growing right now – rapidly – and their bones grow faster than their muscles. (Note static stretching is not recommended right before training, rather it should be dynamic) This list of equipment and uses are for when the athlete is at home.
