The evening will include Pleasantville Schools Superintendent Mary Fox-Alter and Athletic Director John Bauerlein introducing a panel of health care experts who will discuss a variety of topics about youth sports. For example, why are there increasing occurrences of injuries within youth sports? What is the importance of having an action plan for when an injury does occur? What advice do experts have for how to manage injuries when they do occur?
