SAFER SPORT COORDINATOR VISIT.
Last Friday Basketball Mount Gambier welcomed Nick Drury, Safer Sport Program Coordinator of the SA Branch of Sports Medicine Australia, to the Stadium. He worked with approximately 30 6-8 year old junior basketballers, demonstrating a series of practical warm up activities prior to their normal basketball sessions.
The focus on sports warm ups and stretching is changing. The current trend is away from static stretching to dynamic activities in which stretching is done through movement using muscles in the way they are used in games.
Drury is a member of the Sa Sports Medicine team who ran a series of sessions for local clubs last weekend. These sessions included Advanced Taping, sports Massage and Nutrition.
