Safety & Injury Policy FAQ
How do you keep athletes safe during training?
​
Athlete safety is our top priority. All sessions are coach-led and closely supervised, with an emphasis on proper technique, controlled progression, and appropriate training loads based on age and ability.
Are coaches certified and experienced?
​
Yes. Our coaches are trained in youth athletic development and injury prevention principles, and they follow structured programming designed specifically for young athletes.
What happens if an athlete has an existing injury?
​
Athletes with current or previous injuries are encouraged to inform our staff before training begins. We modify exercises as needed and focus on safe alternatives to allow continued participation when appropriate.
Do you train athletes who are currently injured?
​
We do not provide medical or physical therapy services. Athletes returning from injury must have clearance from a medical professional. Once cleared, we adjust training to support a safe and gradual return to activity.
How do you handle soreness or discomfort?
​
We educate athletes on the difference between normal muscle soreness and pain that signals a problem. If an athlete experiences discomfort, we immediately adjust or stop the activity and communicate with parents as needed.
Is training adjusted as athletes grow?
​
Yes. Our programs are designed around long-term athlete development. As athletes grow and mature, training intensity, volume, and complexity are adjusted to ensure continued progress while minimizing injury risk.
