Faulkner County Sports Available

BY BEN DANFORTH

Faulkner County Homeschool Athletic Association has many sports and activities open to homeschoolers who live in that county. The sports available are girls’ volleyball for 7th through 12th graders; girls' and boys' basketball for 4th through 12th graders; and cross country and track for all 7th through 12th graders.

Volleyball season is in September and October, and cross country in October. Basketball is played from November to March, and track is in April. In order to participate, FCHAA must be the closest homeschool sports association to your home, and at least 51% of all education must be done at home.

Last year, Faulkner County’s 16 and under girls’ basketball team went to Oklahoma City to compete with other homeschool teams around the nation and placed first in the 5A division.
