J-Bands™ Jr.

The Jaeger Sports J-Bands: A mandatory tool for any baseball or softball player who wants their arm to be a strength, rather than a liability. Lighter tension designed for ages 12 and younger.

Note: (A 12 year old that is big and/or strong for his age should be able to handle the adult size J-Band when working with minimal tension on the band)

This rotator cuff exercise program is the key to preventing arm injuries while promoting arm health, strength, endurance and recovery period. Just as sprinters would never consider running a race without thoroughly stretching out their hamstrings baseball/softball players should never consider picking up a baseball/softball without doing their surgical tubing bands.

As a baseball or softball player YOUR ARM IS YOUR LIFE LINE…don’t take it for granted.

The J-Bands allow you to perform 10 basic exercises to strengthen and protect the rotator cuff muscle group. These exercises are demonstrated in detail in our video (Thrive on Throwing) by Mike Lieberthal (Phillies) and John Snyder (Padres).

Important Notice. Please Read.

The J-Band is made of premium latex and can last for years, but like anything made from rubber it will eventually wear and need to be replaced. To ensure your safety, check for cuts or cracking in the band before every use especially where the tubing attaches to the clip. Never put your face or head in line with the silver clip (that is attached to the fence). In the unlikely event that the tubing break, the head or face should not be exposed.

The J-Band is not a toy and should not be used in any way other than the exercises that it is designed for. The J-Band can handle resistance of 7 times its original length, but it is highly recommended that the J-band not be stretched to more than 2 to 3 times its original length even for the strongest of students.

The exercises are designed to target the delicate rotator cuff muscles that do not need huge amounts of tension. The bigger muscles of the body take over if there is too much tension in the band during the workout. If you are working with the band at twice it’s original length and feel like you need more of a workout, it is recommended that you increase your repetitions rather than the tension of the J-Band. For example, increasing your repetitions from 25 to 35 reps on each exercise will make a huge difference in the workout even for the strongest of students. It will also ensure that the rotator cuff muscle group stays very active.

To maximize the life of the J-Band, store it in a safe place after the workout. Keeping it out of the sun and away from your cleats (when not in use) will help maximize the longevity and safety of the J-Band.
