The winter sports season is here, and various organizations throughout Knox County will have leagues or events that people can participate in.
Emily Vonck, director of youth programs and director of community engagement at YMCA of Mount Vernon, said the group would be having a winter basketball league, along with swim lessons and gymnastics.
“The season dates are Dec. 4 to Feb. 5,” she told Mount Vernon News. “We serve 3-year-olds to eighth-graders for YMCA basketball. We have a partnership with Jr. Cavs, and each participant gets a free ticket to go to a Cavs game. Registration is over, and we have 360 kids signed up for the winter.”
