				<description><![CDATA[Friday, May 3rd was a big day for 29 of our students! Thanks to the Athletics Department, BASCS students had the opportunity to visit Ralph Wilson Stadium – home of the Buffalo Bills! The trip was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for students to tour the stadium.  Students got the rare chance to visit the field house, where the Bills’ strength and conditioning coaches discussed proper nutrition and gave them information about their respective careers.  While in the field house, students got to meet Bills’ Defensive End Mark Anderson!  From the field house, students visited the ticket office where the Office Manager talked to them about marketing and ticket sales.  Students were also able to visit the Bills’ locker room, stand on the football field and get the bird’s-eye view from the Players’ Exclusive Box, where family, friends and guests of the Bills’ players get to watch the live games. Overall, it was a fantastic trip where students got to have fun but were also reminded constantly to keep their grades up, go to college and work hard. Thanks to the Buffalo Bills for letting our students get the “behind-the-scenes” tour!]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[As the sports scene become more competitive, today’s young athletes are pushed more and more aggressively to succeed. Many athletes — and their parents — hold the dream of signing million-dollar contracts and playing in the big leagues.

With increased competition comes a higher risk of injury, especially seen with young baseball pitchers. Common ailments include tearing of the ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow or medial epicondyle apopysitis (Little League elbow) in the throwing arm. These injuries often result in surgery and require physical therapy prior to returning to play. Studies have shown that college pitchers were much more prone to injury if they experienced a prior injury during youth play.

According to a recent five-year study of youth baseball players conducted by the University of North Carolina and Yale University, the primary cause of arm injuries in youth baseball is overuse, not throwing curveballs. Curveballs have commonly been blamed for injuries to elbows and shoulders, and numerous leagues have contemplated banning them.  

Today’s guidelines often limit pitchers between the ages of 7 and 18 to 50-105 pitches per outing, depending on age, to keep from overuse. Other important factors to consider include allowing enough rest between games and having appropriate pitching mechanics to limit stress on the joints. Specific age-appropriate pitch counts (below) and rest time can be found through Little League baseball.

The therapists at ProActive Sports Rehab can help reduce the stress on players’ joints through stretching and strengthening of the shoulders, elbows and hips and analyzing throwing mechanics to make necessary changes. Physical therapy will help reduce the risk of injury, improve throwing mechanics and help ensure a longer playing career without injury.  

ProActive Sports Rehab has offices at 4535 Southwestern Blvd. (Suites 805 and 806) in Hamburg and at 240 Red Tail (Suites 3 and 4) in Orchard Park, in the Sterling Medical Park. For more information on sports-related injuries and other health issues, please call the Hamburg office at 648-8700 or the Orchard Park office at 674-9600, or visit www.proactivesportsrehab.com. You can also follow ProActive Sports Rehab on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ProActiveSportsRehab?fref=ts for frequent updates.

Pitch Count Limits
Age — Pitches allowed per outing
17-18 — 105
13-16 — 95

				<description><![CDATA[Hello,
I'm the owner/director of STA Sports Performance inside of Sahlen's Sports Park. I played college football locally at UB and have Drew Willy (NFL/CFL Quarterback), Naaman Roosevelt (NFL/CFL Receiver), Jeremy Kelley (NFL Receiver), Michael Jasper (Bills' '11 Draft Pick), Dan Gronkowski (NFL TE with us when he's in town), and also Abby Wambach, US National Player with the WNY Flash all training out of our training center. Many of those pro athletes are local or played college ball locally and this could be a great story for you guys to run as many fans love following them in their career. I'm open for ideas and am willing to help. Thanks
Ben Woods]]></description>
