I'm curious - what grade is it? 

As for an expert opinion on PT and training implications I can put you in contact with my trusted PT and Training duo out in Golden Colorado. I'm not sure how far you are (or one of your athletes), but a phone consult might be worth the time. If a trip to Golden can be made, getting in to see them has always proven invaluable for me. 

Shoot me an e-mail if you'd like contact info… 

Peace,
