Simple Home Exercises to Keep Young Athletes Healthy All Season

You don’t need a gym to stay strong — just a few minutes, a mini-band, and focus.

 

Quick Warm-Up

Start with 5–10 minutes of light jogging, jump rope, or dynamic stretching.

5 At-Home Prehab Moves

  1. Lateral Band Walks — Side-step 10 times each way.

  2. Single-Leg Glute Bridge — 10 reps per leg, keeping hips level.

  3. Step-Downs — Use a sturdy step; lower with control.

  4. Split Squat with Knee Drive — 10 each leg; add a medicine ball for challenge.

  5. Single-Leg Balance with Reach — Hold 20 seconds each leg, reach in different directions.

Bonus: Plank Hold (20–40 seconds) to train total-body stability.


Coach’s Tips

Move slowly — control builds strength.

  • Focus on posture — chest tall, core engaged.

  • Breathe steadily — power comes from rhythm.

These simple exercises, done 2–3 times per week, build strength that carries into every practice and competition.
