Subject: Boston globe article on youth sports

Here is a URL reference for a very interesting series of 4 articles on the
impact of playing in a competitive sports situation for young kids:
http://www.boston.com/globe/sports/packages/youth_sports/
Part 3 in the series "Injured at an early age" has some interesting points
to make about the importance of proper conditioning, flexibility exercises,
etc. that kids should be engaged in, if they are planning to participate in
vigorous sporting activity--also notes that girls are more susceptible to
injury that the boys when they are both playing the same game suggesting
that proper conditioning and preparation as well as equipment may be even
more important for female athletes.
