HSRC Athletic Program Mission Statement and Purpose

Mission Statement
This organization and its leaders are committed to God's Word and His principles. We seek the participation of families who share this commitment to God's Word and to homeschooling.

Believing that the family is the primary source for training and teaching, we seek to help, support, encourage and meet the needs of home school families by providing opportunities to participate on sports teams. Also, because we believe that parents are ultimately responsible for the education of their children, and that athletic programs are part of the educational process, the HSRC is governed by a parent board. Our desire is to build Godly character through competition and team work, encourage Christian conduct and attitude, and strengthen any ability. We believe that God has given us physical gifts to develop and use to bring Him glory. We believe that sports are an excellent opportunity for spiritual, emotional and social growth.

Policies:
Programs will depend on coach and facility availability, and student interest. Efforts will be made to schedule appropriate competition as close as possible to Monee, IL but most of the competitions will require travel. The board will give final approval of new sports, coaches and facilities.

Participation in a sport counts as PE class credit(s). High school athletes have 4 years of athletic eligibility once they are declared a high school student. (Ex. An 8th grader playing on a high school team will not use any of his or her 4 years of high school eligibity.)

All participants must be a part-time or full-time homeschooler. National and state competitors (we may compete at these levels for basketball and girl's volleyball) must be at least 50% homeschooled and meet are requirements. If an athlete takes 18 or more college credit hours of classes in a year, participates in a highschool graduation ceremony or gets married he/she cannot compete at the National Home School Championships.

For more information on any teams, contact the Homeschool Resource Center at 708-235-1901 or e-mail: kristi.boss@fofc.org
