Kinetic Physical Therapy: The official physical therapy partner of MLAC!

Main Line Athletic Camps is very happy to announce our partnership with Kinetic Physical Therapy & Human Performance Center! 

“All young athletes should be educated on how to properly care for and strengthen their bodies,” said MLAC Program Director Jacqueline Freedman. “We are very fortunate to be partnered with a center that has such a high reputation.”

Highly regarded Kinetic physical therapists will be attending select days of the Elite Development Program to provide short educational presentations showing the players how to warm up properly, use multidirectional plyometrics and agility to their best advantage and learn about concussions and injury prevention.

Elite Development Program: Prepare for your career in club ultimate

Are you an advanced ultimate player planning on playing for club or college? The Elite Development Program (EDP) is designed to prepare advanced player for their next big steps in their ultimate career.

Players will be learning from the source itself. Club teams such as Patrol, Green Means Go, CityWide, BANG, and more will be represented in the program’s coaching staff.  These players are familiar with the process of progressing as an ultimate player and are prepared to share their wealth of knowledge with the program attendees.

At the EDP players will be categorized into men’s (open) and women’s ultimate groups. This will allow them to develop the most appropriate skills for each individual ultimate category they choose to compete in.

Featured Coach of the Week: Nick Mathison

Our Main Line Athletic Camps Coach of the Week is ultimate coach, Nick Mathison.

Mathison, a Main Line native, has been playing ultimate for the past five years at both the collegiate and professional levels. He began playing ultimate as a freshman at Lehigh University, later serving as captain for two years and bringing the team to a fifth place finish at D-III Nationals in 2014.

“I was hooked the moment I went to my first tournament,” he says. Now, Mathison tries to help out coaching at as many camps and clinics as he can. He describes his coaching style—which he developed during his captainship at Lehigh—as “lending itself well to individual critiques.”

“I believe talking to someone one-on-one is very important in stressing skills and learning the game,” Mathison adds.
Mathison currently plays as a defensive cutter for Philadelphia’s professional ultimate team, the Spinners.
