COMMUNITY
S.P.O.R.T.S. is exploring offering a wrestling league in 2020. Have a child interested in wrestling? E-mail fingalls@hse.k12.in.us. Any former wrestlers or coaches are encouraged to reach out as well.

Coming Soon
Boys Youth Volleyball will return for a 4th season in the spring of 2020. Come experience the exciting game of volleyball and have fun learning from some of the best in the state. This year the league will be run by HSE and Fishers boys volleyball coaches. Your boys will get a chance to play and learn from current HSE and Fishers high school players. The season will begin after spring break and will run through the end of May for boys in grades 4-8. Detailed information will be posted in December and registration will begin in January.

Getting Involved
If you are interested in being on the board to help with the planning and growing the game of boys volleyball, a meeting will be held in December. Please contact Wes Marchione at wamarchione@gmail.com with interest or questions.

ST. VINCENT SPORTS PERFORMANCE
Common Injuries in Young Athletes - Osgood-Schlatter Disease
Osgood-Schlatter disease is the inflammation of the area just below the knee where the tendon from the kneecap attaches to your tibia (shinbone). It is considered an overuse injury rather than a traumatic injury as it results from the repetitive impact from movements such as running and jumping.

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Wow! After a spring where we didn't think it would ever stop raining, can you believe the fall we had? Who knew Fishers could rival both a tropical rain forest and an arid desert in one year?

I was extremely pleased with how our fall sports wrapped up this season. Obviously, good weather plays a role in this, but YOU also play a big role in this. We received a lot of great photos to share via our social media channels and some great compliments about some volunteers who help run our programs. What I love hearing most is that coaches or parents who may have had a rough moment at the beginning of the season, have made concerted effort to change and it has positively affected their team or their participant.
