Homeschool Sports: Can Your Child Play on a School Team? 

November 3, 2023 by BJU Press Writer

You may be considering a sport for your child but are unsure whether it would work for your family. You may be wondering if it’s even possible to homeschool and be involved in organized sports. Thanks to improved laws and a growing number of programs, you can find many different options when it comes to homeschool sports.  Extracurricular activities such as music, art, and sports can provide many advantages for homeschoolers. Sports can especially benefit children and teens. Playing sports can improve your child’s ability to concentrate and focus, both on and off the court or field.

Your homeschooler will also learn how to be a team player and work with and encourage their teammates, which will help as they prepare for the future. Another benefit is having another adult besides a parent to instill discipline and to instruct, correct, and motivate your child. Playing sports can help boost kids’ confidence. And participating in sports promotes better physical health by improving strength, speed, and flexibility. In fact, playing sports early on in life can establish healthy exercise and eating habits your child can continue as they get older.
