Actually, here in backwater Montanny homeschoolers DO pool their resources and sponsor various athletic teams...!!!
Imagine THAT....people depending on themselves with no government intervention.....RADICAL.

Oh, and my Mom went to D.C. SEVEN times with her various charges.....she’s sleeping right now so I can’t ask her how many NATIONAL winners she coached, but I think it was three.
THEY were all “home schooled” in that she is a high school graduate [or WAS at the time, she later put herself through college] and she was acting as a VOLUNTEER for Parochial School students just because she wanted to.
I participated in the Scripps Bee every year I was eligible, 5th thru 8th grade, back in the Dark Ages, when we didn’t have as many words, lol.
Never made it to Washington, but came in 2nd in my state my last year, after representing my county every year. The guy who beat me won the National Bee.
This is a repeat, because I posted about it this time last year, so I won’t tell my exit word. Oh, and I wasn’t home-schooled, but I was country-schooled at the time.
Your mom sounds like an awesome woman.
