Is your youth, high school or college athlete eager to step up their game? The University of Kansas Health System’s Sports Medicine and Performance Center in Overland Park is offering a 20% discount for its youth summer program if you sign up early.
The 10-week program runs June 3–August 9 and offers sessions for athletes who are 8 years old through college. Sign up by May 17 for the discount.
“Our summer program introduces athletes to the fundamental movement patterns that are needed to compete in all sports,” says Roger Allen, strength and athletic development supervisor at the Sports Medicine and Performance Center. “Each week, drills progress in difficulty and every session ends with sport-specific drill work, giving athletes an edge over their competition.”
It’s a well-rounded program that checks all the boxes of athletic development. By committing to training now, athletes can be in mid-season form on Day 1 of their fall season. Ryan Sloop
