Parents Conditioning

[XcelMom08]

What does conditioning look like at your gym?
Our gym focuses mostly on legs and core. No arms, no ankle stability, etc.
For the past year there has been an uptick in injuries and I am wondering if the possible lack of conditioning might be an underlying issue. I know it is may not been the main issue but seeing what your gym does might better help me understand if there should be something different going on.

Our gym did bar conditioning every day and worked lower body into vault rotations.

We do a bit of everything everyday, but upper body conditioning is done everyday (rope climbs, chin ups, press handstands, push ups and the like). Some days we add a little weight training patterns like shoulder presses, lateral raises, rows,... We do some lower body or plyometrics also everyday and some core too.
If we don't run out of time at the end of training or as side station we add a little prehab, though that's less consistent than what we'd like.

We don't do a lot of ankle stability/other prehab/rehab work but its core, plyos, arms, legs (each one day) for our 4 days a week practices

During meet weeks we don't really do any conditioning. When its not a meet week we do a lot of abs, legs, and arms. I think that stretching and warming up your ankles more and better could be a big solution in your problem.
