Soccer

Soccer at BHAA brings together homeschool athletes who share a love for the beautiful game and a desire to honor Christ through competition. The fast pace, teamwork, and creativity that soccer demands make it an ideal sport for developing perseverance, selflessness, and trust in one another. Our players learn that serving your teammate with a well-timed pass, sacrificing your position to cover for a friend, and playing with joy even when the score isn’t in your favor are all reflections of a Christ-centered heart.

Coaching Philosophy

Our soccer coaches are volunteers who see the pitch as a place to build young men and women of character. We emphasize teamwork over individual glory, effort over outcome, and integrity in every challenge and call. We expect our players and families to demonstrate Christlike sportsmanship — encouraging opponents, respecting officials, and playing hard with a joyful spirit. Parents are vital to our program and are invited to contribute their time and talents wherever they can.

Schedule

Practices begin in August with games typically scheduled the end of August through mid-October (with travel to Polson, Kalispell, Helena, and other cities as the calendar allows). BHA schedules games against Christian schools and other homeschool teams.

Eligibility

Quality of Play

This is competitive soccer, with high school rules. Playing time will be based on skill-sets, hustle, ability, performance, not to mention attitude toward your teammates and others. There is no guarantee of playing time or position. 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.
