Take a look at the article below detailing the increase in fees for sports participation.  This is exactly what Sports Image® strives to combat.

Many area families will have to pay two or three times the amount they paid last year for their kids to participate in school sports and other activities as part of districts’ efforts to cut costs.For the affected districts, the average increase is more than 100 percent.At Beavercreek, Huber Heights, Valley View and Vandalia-Butler school districts – each of which recently announced multimillion-dollar cuts to stem widespread budget deficits – costs will be higher for the 2012-13 than they were this past school year.

Sports Image® is the adoptive family to Henry Goose and its lovely mother, Mama Goose.  The 2 have decided to make our 3rd story balcony their home until Henry can learn to fly.  During his time here, Henry has become a fan of lemon cookies, bagels, approved trail mix and filtered water.  Unfortunately, Henry was not up for a photo, so his face has been turned.  Welcome to the family!
