ATHLETICS/SPORTS For homeschoolers, finding athletic outlets that are open to the public can be especially challenging. Sports are a great way to socialize and challenge your child while giving them more responsibility. Take a look at what options your child may have when it comes to sports. Crossing Currents Aquatics (CCA) | Millersville, Glen Burnie, & Riva Encourage your homeschooler’s interest in swimming while also building their teamwork and personal achievement with this non-competitive homeschool swim team. CCA’s programs include Swim Team Prep For Homeschoolers (3-7) and Homeschool Hurricanes, an intramural non-competitive swim team (5-18). *East Coast Martial Arts | Annapolis & Edgewater Our homeschool martial arts program builds confidence, discipline, and leadership while teaching self-defense and physical fitness. Kids develop focus, perseverance, and essential life skills in a structured and supportive environment. Email Support@EastCoastMartialArts.com for more information.
