Functional Movement Screening:  Parents may request a Functional Movement Screening Assessment that consists of seven functional tests which evaluate whole body mobility, flexibility, strength, motor control and functional patterning.  This assessment can provide crucial physiological information to assist in preventing injury.  Based on results an exercise program will be recommended that Springers will incorporate into each athlete’s individual conditioning program.  Parents will receive a copy of the assessment and accompanying exercises.   Cost for assessment & accompanying report: $125
