Welcome to the Scottsdale Little League Player Health and Wellness Program

The purpose of the Scottsdale Little League (SLL) Player Health and Wellness Program is to
Improve Performance, Reduce Injuries, and Improve Throwing Velocity.
To improve performance, we recommend performing a dynamic stretching program. Dynamic
stretching involves stretching with multi-directional movements to prepare the muscles for
practices and games to improve performance such as speed, jumping, and power.

To reduce injuries, we recommend following safe-pitching guidelines. These guidelines include:
• Pitch Count
• Rest
• Pitching Types

To improve throwing velocity, we recommend performing an arm-care program designed to
warm-up the throwing muscles to prepare the arm for throwing.
