We have a catcher on our team, 12 years old, that was just diagnosed with tendonitis in her knee. She has just completed her first junior high season of volleyball which lasted about 10 weeks. In this time, she was catching at practice 3x/week for about 45 minutes, going to a weekly catching clinic and caught 3 games in a recent weekend dome tournament.
I read Dave's comments saying the knee savers must be on the lower straps. He mentioned something about a problem with the knee joint if they are worn up high. This girl wears them up high. What I'd like to know is if the knee savers can be connected to the tendonitis. The orthopedist said it's rare to find tendonitis in a girl so young. Does anyone else have any experience with this type of injury in a young catcher?
Thanks.
