Thanks all for the welcome and the advice. It pretty much confirms what we've been thinking and planning all along. PT said same thing - why ruin full summer season for two weeks of Spring ball? ANd I think this coach in particular is not sticking to what school usually does. THey do have a good training staff that has been overseeing his school workouts (in addition to bi-weekly PT at local health facility). And they want to see him released by a doctor before they give the go-ahead. I have a feeling if I go to the Varsity head coach with it he might have some discussion with the JV coach. THe more I think about it the more I like that idea!
