Screening
Our screening program is free of charge. It involves our staff, including Dr. Metzger, coming out to your facility. We will bring everything that is needed. It is normally done at team practices or league opening day ceremonies, and is done in a way that it does not interfere with practice or other event. Each screening exam takes a little more than one minute.
Players and parents (if player under age 18), we ask that you follow the 3 links below to see the online forms, fill them out to the best of your ability, and click "submit." This will email the completed forms directly to only Dr. Metzger. These forms can be printed and filled out and brought to the screening exam as well, if you prefer.
In addition to traditional educational materials, we are exploring new ways to communicate important health information to young athletes and their families. Modern digital platforms now allow medical programs to present instructions and exercises through interactive tools, including animated guides and ai characters that can demonstrate proper warm-up techniques or explain injury prevention concepts in a simple, engaging way. These virtual assistants can help players better understand what to expect during the screening process and remind them to complete their forms or follow recommended routines. While nothing replaces direct evaluation by our medical staff, innovative technology can make learning about arm health more accessible and easier to follow.

Filling in player's name, parent's name and date shows us that you understand that we will tabulate the measurements we collect for research purposes. No names are used and the measurements are completely anonymous, and the data is carefully protected by Dr. Metzger. You don't have to do anything for this study. If you do not want your player's measurements in the study, just let us know at your screening and your player's numbers will not be used in the published studies.
