Nov. 3, 2007 - Soccer -- Homeschool Soccer Leagues

Soccer

We have been very blessed this year to be involved in the Right At Home Soccer league. The unique thing about this league is that we only meet on Fridays, from 1:50-4:00 p.m. All ages from 5 and up can play; and each age group practices for the first hour and scrimmages for the second hour. We have a couple games with other homeschool leagues; and then we are done. So, don't have to drive to three different fields on opposite sides of the county three days per week for practice, and another day per week for games. My children learned quite a bit, had fun, made friends with homeschoolers; all in a (mostly) non-competitive environment. The league was Christian, however I have been involved in church leagues before where people were less then "Christ-like" in there attitudes. Not so with Right At Home Soccer! We had a female organizer, and a male "head coach" who did a prayer for everyone, and then a devotion and teaching time for older children (ages 8 and up) at the beginning of every practice. It is possible for you to organize such a league near you!

About Me

The bottom line is; We try not to insist on parent-led learning or gravitate toward child-led learning. We try instead to focus on God-led learning and ask for His input and perspective on every aspect of our home school. That way, when others fuss about what Dan and I are doing and make me second guess our decisions -- I can go back to our decision process and find God's fingerprints, reminding me that this is His way.
