Off season/winter workouts for JV and Varsity are held 3 times a week beginning mid January. These are held at Jerome's Gym in Richardson under the guidance of Coach Michael Scott. These are on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday 6-8 pm. It is expected that all players attend these, however, if circumstances prevent a player from attending all then they are encouraged to attend as many as possible or to have a workout plan in force on their own. Jerome's Gym is $20 plus tax on a monthly basis. Each player pays Jerome's Gym directly on a month to month basis. The membership allows you to use the facilities at any time. A middle school workout program to be done at home will be sent out in off season. 

PLAYER ELIGIBILITY

Please read carefully the Eligibility Requirements (HSAA Eligibility Rules).  If you have questions about whether you qualify as a “homeschooler," please contact one of the head coaches or the commissioner.  

Spring training/practices are in the month of April (March 31st-April 25th). The fall season begins on Aug 4th and ends near mid November. The Varsity team concludes the fall season with the Homeschool National Championship series in Florida (usually the week before Thanksgiving).  HSAA schedules games against private schools and homeschool teams. It is possible that you may be asked to participate on a summer 7 on 7 team and play for a short summer season.  

PROGRAM COSTS

Program fees pay for season costs, including some uniform items.  Varsity and JV uniforms, helmet, pads, and practice pants and jersey are provided. In middle school, uniform and practice jerseys are provided. Some helmets and pads may be available for middle school also. This is TBD. A fund raiser will take place in the fall to help offset additional costs for facilities and other expenses.  Any travel-related expenses to out of town games are an additional cost.

PROGRAM APPROACH

 The HSAA football program will strive to have continuity between the Varsity, JV, and MS teams by implementing the same system and strategy for each phase of the game (offense, defense, special teams). The Middle School strategy will be scaled back as appropriate for the level of skill and experience of the players.

PLAYING TIME

 All players have equal opportunity for earning playing time and playing positions. the coaches are best qualified to determine appropriate playing time and positions for the players.there is no favoritism and nothing guaranteed. All players earn their spots. 

QUALITY OF PLAY

This is competitive football. The teams are small enough to provide for many opportunities for all players. However, because HSAA is a competitive organization, a certain level of playing time is not guaranteed. As always, development of skills, techniques, character, and team attitudes remain a key goal of the program. Our goal is to provide a high-quality, balanced program where talented athletes can grow physically and spiritually and where Jesus Christ is honored in all respects.  

 HSAA Football is part of Dallas HSAA, a homeschool sports organization that serves the Dallas / North Texas areas.
