Being a homeschooler doesn’t mean students are stuck at home all day. They have many unique learning opportunities and one more can be added to that list.
Yuma Proving Ground’s (YPG) Youth Services Sports Program is offering these students an opportunity to get outdoors and enjoy group sports.
Sports Specialist Dylan Black recently came to YPG from another installation in Alaska and brought a program he saw success with there to YPG. In October Black started a physical education program exclusively for homeschooled students. Each month a new sport will be taught, and students meet once a week.
“I knew there was a big homeschool community on base, so I just wanted to get them out.”
While the program is not accredited it still benefits the children.
“It’s a good opportunity for them to get out meet other kids that are homeschooled and to play some sports.”
During October, Youth Services offered soccer and six homeschool kids participated from about three different families. The children were excited to be a part of the program and Black enjoyed teaching them.
“It was a great opportunity to teach them the fundamentals.”
As long as children keep participating Black hopes to continue offering the opportunity. In November archery is being offered. If you would like your homeschooled child to participate, contact Parent Central Services at 928-328-3130.
