Grant County high school athletes and coaches can learn from an expert at an injury prevention clinic at 7 p.m. Friday, July 26, at the Grant Union Junior-Senior High School track complex.

Blue Mountain Hospital physical therapist Elliot Sky will test and provide training for the athletes to improve their jump explosiveness and injury prevention drills.

Sky will also follow up with the athletes in four to six weeks to see their improvements.

Grant Union athletic director Sonna Smith encourages coaches to share the information with their athletes.

“This is an invaluable resource he is providing the community free of charge,” Smith said.
