Homeschool Soccer
Fall — August to October
Soccer at BHAA brings together homeschool athletes in grades 8–12 from across the Bitterroot Valley 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.

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). BHAA schedules games against Christian schools and other homeschool teams.
