Parents Meeting Summary:

As of now, because of a lack of homeschool players in our program, we will only be entering a varsity team in the NCHE homeschool league.  That means only the varsity will participate in the season ending regional tournament in February.  However, having said that, I am waiting until the last day of the grace period (Nov 25) to declare, in case God intervenes and gives us a few surprise homeschool players.

If it goes as planned, the middleschool will play all the non-conference games AND against other homeschool teams on the schedule, but the homeschool games won't be official league games.    The middleschool team won't be able to play in the regional tournament but will be able to enter the East Coast tournament in March.

The jv will be a combination of players from the middleschool and varsity teams.  They will play all the non-conference games ANDhomeschool teams that don't have a varsity team, but the homeschool games won't be official league games.
As in the past with our swimming, baseball and basketball programs, we are allowing a few non-homeschool players to play on the Hawks this season.  These players can only compete in non-homeschool or non-conference games.  This is done as an outreach to other boys who don't have an opportunity to play elsewhere.  To be eligible they must respect the Christian principles of team and agree to practice at least once a week with the club. This year, the added players will help our varsity team to  better compete against some of the elite programs we have on the non-homeschool part of the schedule (i.e. Bull City Classic, Mt. Zion, Upper Room).  Last year, we had Marcus Gaines in our program who at 6-5 was a nationally ranked high school football player.  He presence at practices helped prepare the varsity to play homeschool teams with taller players and he was a welcome help as a center in our non-conference game against Mt. Zion.
