Reducing Arm Injuries Suffered by Youth Baseball Pitchers:
A BC Minor Educational Initiative

Introduction Letter to Pitchers, Parents, and Coaches


To BC Minor pitchers, parents, and coaches:

Reducing the number of pitchers who suffer arm injuries is a goal for BC
Minor during the 2009 season. The adoption of pitch counts and other
pitching related rules at the 2008 AGM was an important first step in
reaching this goal, however, it is only part of the process for BC Minor.
Starting on Monday April 6th, BC Minor will launch a season long education
initiative aimed at raising an awareness within the baseball community of
how arm injuries can occur and how they can be prevented. Each Monday
through to the end of June, a new article will be posted on the BC Minor
website at www.bcminorbaseball.org. It is our desire that after 14 weeks of articles that pitchers, parents, and coaches will have a better understanding of how arm injuries can occur and what steps they can take to prevent them.
