Although summer has just begun, fall sports are right around the corner for young area athletes. To help them stay in shape for those first practices under the blistering August sun, Alton Memorial Hospital's Human Motion Institute (HMI) is offering its third annual Summer Warm-Up.

There will be two groups during this four-week session meeting on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The first group meets 2:30 p.m.-3:30 p.m. and the second group meets 3:45 p.m.-4:45 p.m. at Alton Memorial Hospital's HMI office at 226 Regional Drive, located next to Target adjacent to Homer Adams Parkway. Sessions begin Tuesday, July 6, and end Thursday, July 29. Athletes 10 through college are eligible to attend the session, facilitated by HMI staff members Aaron Suessen and Andy Renner. Cost is $50 per session. Call 618.465.3278 for more information or to register.

HMI is also offering a Team Training Program this summer. These six-week sessions can be scheduled for two or three days per week.
