Sports Conditioning

The Sports Medicine Department at Vernon Memorial Healthcare offers two Summer Sports Conditioning Programs for middle school, high school, and collegiate athletes. The program is designed to help athletes increase strength, power, endurance, and agility through the use of agility ladders, medicine balls, Smarthurdles, sports cords, and plyometrics boxes. Gain up to 3.5 inches on your vertical jump!

VMH reserves the right to determine which program is most beneficial for each athlete. Studies have shown that nearly 70% of ACL injuries occur without direct contact to the knee such as striking, hitting, or bumping, etc. Both programs teach and train athletes the correct jumping, landing, and cutting techniques over a six-week session to minimize these non-contact injuries.
