Yup!
Seriously ... teenage boys need lots of dynamic warm-up time, and lots of static stretching time (after workouts/competitions) to reduce injuries and improve muscle flexibility, ESPECIALLY during times of height gain.
You don't mention which sport you coach/train him for ... I'd work on getting his gluteals firing properly, dynamic and static flexibility of hamstrings and adductors, and work on his single leg balance. A lot of this can be incorporated into a pre-training/pre-practice/pre-contest warm-up, along with a home program of static stretching.
If you need ideas please let me know ... especially regarding balance training progression.
