Sports Medicine Center
for Young Athletes

Athlete Development Program The program provides comprehensive evaluation, education and athletic training for young athletes of all ability levels, in a setting designed to maximize safety and performance. Our goal is to help enhance the efficiency of the training process; decrease the number of injuries through preventive and new therapeutic models; educate and support coaches and managers; and prove athletic performance-related data through our ongoing research. Please email Daniel Kamenetzky or call 510-428-3558 for more details. To refer a patient/client, please complete and send the following form: Athlete Development Referral Form.

Young athletes should be managed differently from adult athletes:

• Growing bones and cartilage are susceptible to injuries unlike those of a skeletally mature athlete.
• Overuse injuries in young athletes can lead to disability that extends into adulthood.
• As young athletes become increasingly skilled and competitive, the injury rates and significance increase.

That’s why we have developed a program offering young athletes a one-of-a-kind resource for sports injury care and prevention.

The Sports Medicine Center for Young Athletes is the first sports medicine program in Northern California to work exclusively with young athletes.

• Our pediatric sports medicine specialists have extensive knowledge and experience in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of sports-related injuries in children and adolescents.
• We offer young athletes the most current and comprehensive medical care and educational programming available.
• It is our objective to facilitate not only the return to the enjoyment of sports quickly, but also safely.
