Wow... 2,000 students in the sports program? What a shame if the hybrid school starts turning the homeschoolers away.

The homeschool sports programs where I live were always organized and coached by nonpaid volunteers. But, when the children of those volunteers finished homeschooling, the younger, newer homeschool parents never stepped up to take over. Many of the larger HSing organizations here folded over the years. They were replaced by different groups... but there are no sports programs here, anymore, as far as I know.

Yeah, they have most sports, even an equestrian team, and middle school, JV and Varsity. The teams are still coached by parents but the athletic director is very good at weeding out the parents who want to coach but who are all about daddy-ball.

My husband stayed on to coach a varsity baseball team after my son graduated just because he knew the kids and wanted to keep some continuity. The JV coach will coach the varsity next year.

It’s sad, but the last of the homeschoolers who were grandfathered in graduated last year.
