Dynamic conditioning really changes the game! I’ve seen great results by mixing in plyometrics for kids, especially to prevent growth plate issues. Check out some tips here: https://www.sportsmedicine.com/Youth-Conditioning.

Mixing in resistance bands during warm-ups has made a noticeable difference in my athletes’ dynamic conditioning. Just like you mentioned, it’s helped them avoid injuries while building strength. I’ve found that adding these to youth routines, especially around growth plate concerns, can be really beneficial. @emily_w56, have you tried this approach yet?
