Varsity State Champs
Varsity 2009 - 2010

Welcome to our 9th season of Hawks’ boys basketball. Coming off our varsity boys winning the North Carolina Homeschool State Championships last February, the Hawks hope again to be competitive with their opponents. Our program is run and led by Christian homeschool dads who desire to build a godly character in their boys that is not only reflected on the court but also in their overall walk with Christ.

The regular season ends late February 2010 with the North Carolina State Homeschool Basketball Championships.  For our postseason, We plan to attend the Eastern Homeschool Basketball Championships at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., March 15th to the 20th.

Costs
• Monthly practice/game fees:   $95 per player ($55 for additional players).  Does not include tournament or post season play.  Fees should be paid on the first practice of each month. Payments run Oct through February.  There will also be a practice fee in March if player chooses to attend the post season tournament.
Team uniforms are mandatory. For the JV/Varsity players we use a high quality reversible elite (two sided for home and away games) that will last many years if cared for. The cost is about $95. Middleschool players purchase a one sided jersey only. The cost is about $25.
• Liability fee $17
• Admission fees:  Most games (including some of our own home games), charge an admission fee for spectators.  We will try to let you know the admission fees for the coming week on the Friday before.   All admission fees will be paid at the door.
• Tournaments Fees.  There will be per player costs for all tournaments to cover the Hawk’s entry fee and the coach’s travel, food and lodging costs.  Except for the regional and state championships held in February, players may opt out of participation in tournaments without being responsible for the tournament fees.
Transportation:  Those who would like to be on a list for car pooling to practices and games may indicate so on the sign up sheet.  When available, if players choose to take the team van there will be a 10 cents per mile charge.  We also suggest a similar payment if your son is car pooling with another family and you are unable to reciprocate with the same service.

Fund-raising:  If desirable, the team may organize fund raising to cover program fees and supplement players travel expenses to tournaments.
