Launch just finished up their first year of Pasadena Region 13 YDP Clinics. Approximately 40-50 kids attended each night for our 9 week course. Clinics were held Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Our staff had a tremendous time working with the kids and coaches of Region 13. We look forward to our continued work with Region 13 YDP Clinics in the years to come. See you this summer at Launch Camp.

The Break the Cycle Car Wash was a huge success. We washed approximately 60 cars, acquired almost $600 in onsite contributions, and ALTERED (our RLF Youth) utilized the opportunity to continue to build on their friendships.  We thank all of our youth who donated their valuable time to help this wonderful cause as well as all of our individuals who came to get their cars washed.

The ROTATOR CUFF is made up of 4 distinct muscles. Supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, and teres minor.

Function: The supraspinatus acts primarily to stabilize and compress the glenohumeral joint, creating a fulcrum for the deltoid to act more efficiently.  The infraspinatus and teres minor act as external rotators along with the posterior deltoid. The subscapularis acts as a dynamic internal rotator.

Activity during Throwing:   Professional pitchers, during the acceleration phase of throwing, fire the subscapularis selectively over the other rotator cuff muscles, whereas amateurs depend more on rotator cuff muscles and biceps brachii for power.
