Strengthening Programs for Kids
Every athlete and their coach wants them to be bigger, stronger and faster. With this in mind, youth coaches should incorporate some sport-specific strengthening exercises in youth practices. Even as little as 5 minutes of practice and even for kids as young as 7 or 8 years old, youth coaches can have players  perform some easy strength exercises that will complement that sport. This emphasis during practice will also serve to express the importance of overall conditioning and strength to kids and parents, alike. In this day of over-weight kids coaches can start to make an impact beyond the normal exercise that each sport provides.
