The overall purpose of this study is to develop an understanding of how the body responds and adapts to long-term exposure of playing tennis, and its impact on physical and performance characteristics of the shoulder. We will perform a brief orthopedic screening including joint stability tests, range of motion and strength measures, and measure the amount of twist in the upper arm bone (known as humeral retroversion). These measures have been previously linked to shoulder injuries in overhead athletes. Those interested under the age of 18 must have a parent/guardian contact the investigators.
