GMC to host injury prevention clinic at Gwinnett Stadium in January Professionals from Gwinnett Medical Center and the Atlanta Braves will educate parents and coaches

Posted by admin on January 6, 2010  |  No Comments

Gwinnett Stadium

Gwinnett Medical Center will host an injury prevention clinic at Gwinnett Stadium on Saturday, January 16, 2010. The event will educate parents and coaches on how best to protect their young athletes from baseball-related injuries.

The clinic, Injury Prevention in Youth Baseball, will last from 8:15 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. and will begin with physicians and other experts on the topic from both GMC and the Atlanta Braves.

“Our goal is to educate the parents, coaches and players to try to prevent injuries before they happen,” said Scott Maughon, MD, chairman of Gwinnett Medical Center’s Sports Medicine program.

All speakers will take part in a round table discussion just before lunch. Following lunch, a breakout session will focus on pitch counts, pitch types and pitching mechanics. The event will be concluded with an all-access tour of the Gwinnett Braves’ facilities. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.

“Far too many unnecessary sports-related injuries occur right here in our community,” said Gwinnett SportsRehab therapist Lloyd Van Pamelen, PT, CSCS. “We’re hoping that by equipping the parents and coaches of our youth with a few valuable lessons, we can make a huge impact.”

The cost of the clinic is $15 per participant, and registration, which closes January 13, can be done by calling 678-442-5000. The first 50 to register will receive a pair of tickets to a 2010 Gwinnett Braves game.

JONES BRIDGE SOCCER: NEW NAME, NEW LOOK, NEW FORMAT

Posted by admin on December 19, 2009  |  No Comments

Jones Bridge Soccer

Jones Bridge Soccer (JBS) is the new name for Peachtree Booster Club’s soccer program.  The soccer league is located at Jones Bridge Park on East Jones Bridge Road, in Peachtree Corners near the Forum shopping center.  It was affiliated in 2008 with Georgia State Soccer Association (GSSA).  JBS teams may participate in GSSA tournaments:  the fall cup and spring State Championship, and other tournaments.  JBS’s U14 Girls Breakers won the state’s fall championship, the Kohl’s Cup, in November.

Registration for spring soccer starts in January.  Look for registration flyers in your children’s school bags.  Players aged 2-4 are may register for the Preschool “Superstars” Program, and players aged 5-12 may register for the Recreational Program.

Since it’s affiliation with GSSA, JBS uses the Kicking Is Not Soccer (KINS) program created by GSSA.  These are small-sided games where players get maximum touches on the ball, thus enhancing their soccer skills.  Parents love seeing their children get a lot of time with the ball, and kids love the small fields because they get to score more and feel successful.

JBS is a rec league only.  For the modern student who has multiple activities JBS’s schedule of one practice and one game per week is a perfect complement for the busy student.  JBS would also like to recruit enough girls for the spring season to have a separate girls and boys leagues.

At JBS, skills, fun, and sportsmanship are emphasized.  It is fun competition without politics and pressure.  Many parents agree that for the money, convenience, and pressure-free environment of playing in Peachtree Corners, that JBS is a great value, and who couldn’t use that?

New & Improved On-Line Registration will go live Wednesday, December 9th, 2009 for Duluth Park Programs

Jones Bridge Soccer’s U14 Breakers Win 2009 Kohl’s Cup

Posted by admin on November 18, 2009  |  No Comments

Jones Bridge

Jones Bridge Soccer’s (JBS) U14 Breakers won their second Kohl’s American Cup November 15.  On Saturday they tied the first game with Jefferson Football Club 2-2.  The second game versus the Columbus Girls Inc. was a sound victory 9-0.  The Breakers cinched their place for the final game with a victory against the Fayette County Wildcats 6-0 in game three.  The final game versus the Henry County Sidekicks was a physical game resulting in two injured Breakers.

The first score of the final game came relatively early for the Breakers and then a hard fought battle ensued.  In the last 10 seconds of the game the Sidekicks were awarded a penalty kick which tied the game.  The game went into 10 minutes overtime where the Breakers held the line.  The game was decided in a 5 PK (penalty kick) shootout which gave the Breakers the victory 2-1!

The Breakers play with JBS out of Jones Bridge Park on East Jones Bridge Road in Peachtree Corners.  The club is formerly known as Peachtree Booster Club Soccer.  Congratulations to the mighty Breakers!

Youth Track and Field in Gwinnett

Posted by admin on November 9, 2009  |  No Comments

Someone just recently posted a question about youth Track and Field in Gwinnett.  It seems most times the schools are the best place to start. My son just started Cross Country for the first time at Norcross High School. He had a good time, ran at least 4 miles a day (sometimes 7-8) and competed on the weekends at different 5K events. He enjoined it and built up some great friendships – he intends to continue in the spring in track and fields and then run through the summer program with the other boys. By the fall he’ll be ready for Cross Country again.

In the mean time to answer the youth running question. Outside of the high schools and some middles school you can try:
