Sports and Kids....and parents

Sports and homeschooling families can be a touchy subject. Either we've had bad experiences or would rather avoid them.

  • Look for programs that are careful about who they pick to coach.
  • Look for programs that expect parents to act maturely.
  • Find out how much practice time is expected. Is there a mindset that sports come first before family?
  • Find out if foul language will be tolerated from players and parents. Some programs just "do nothing."

  • When you do sign-up for a program, be reliable and responsible.
