Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE — An Atlanta Braves legend will lend a hand when Gwinnett Medical Center hosts a January clinic on injury prevention in youth baseball.
Former Braves pitcher Tom Glavine, along with current Braves third base coach Brian Snitker and a host of medical personnel, will participate in the clinic to be held Jan. 15 at Coolray Field in Lawrenceville.
Presentations during the one-day clinic will cover preventing injuries in pitching, in-season maintenance for the throwing arm, getting the most out of your players, preseason conditioning and identifying the early signs of throwing injuries.
The clinic — sponsored by Gwinnett SportsRehab and the Gwinnett Braves — is designed for parents and coaches, but youth players ages 16 and up are welcome to attend.
The $30 event fee includes breakfast, lunch and presentation handouts, with a $25 discounted rate available for groups of five or more. Registration is required by Jan. 7, and can be completed by calling 678-312-5000.
The first 50 people to register will receive a pair of tickets to a 2011 Gwinnett Braves game. Several raffle prizes will be given away during the clinic.
