Common Injuries in Young Athletes - Concussions
A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury. Concussions are particularly common if you play a contact sport, such as football or soccer. Most individuals recover fully after a concussion. If you believe you have experienced a concussion-causing hit to the head, refrain from participating in physical activity and see a medical physician.

FROM THE ASSISTANT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
|
Thank you!
I started with Southeastern Program of Recreational Team Sports (S.P.O.R.T.S.) as the Assistant Executive Director in 2004. During the past 16 years, it has been my pleasure to help our organization grow and change, including our recent name change to Mudsock Youth Athletics! Now, after 16 years of service, I am announcing my retirement with mixed feelings of nostalgia and excitement.
When I was hired, I was one of only four employees working in our small office on Village Square Lane. Now there are seven employees working in our much larger office at Billericay Park. During my tenure, the number of sports, leagues and participants has doubled. Also, during this time, the Town of Fishers became the City of Fishers while the population grew from 55,000 to over 90,000. This growth was among the fastest in the country at the time and I am pleased to say our organization eagerly kept up with the progress.

Coaches Needed
Just like all youth sports programs, we are always looking for new parents to coach our great group of young players. If you are interested in coaching, as a head coach or assistant coach, please reach out to us at
hsefisherslacrosse@gmail.com for further information.
U.S. Lacrosse
With registration being in January each year, many player's U.S. Lacrosse numbers expire this time of year. Please make sure your child has a valid U.S. Lacrosse number before registering. If you have already registered, please check the U.S. Lacrosse website and renew your child's yearly membership if it has or soon will expire. Teams will be put together in early March, with practices starting in mid-March, so your child will need his membership current in order to participate.
Evaluations
Once the final registrations have been totaled, we will determine which age groups will hold evaluations for team assignments. Be on the lookout for further communications in the coming weeks regarding the evaluations and team assignments.
