FALL 2024 SEMESTER SPORTS CLASSES, WOODWORKING, AVIATION SCIENCE CLASSES, MARKSMANSHIP, & VOLLEYBALL TEAM

​

The 1st semester will start the week of Monday, September 9, 2024 for "Independent" classes, and go for 16 weeks, finishing the last week of January 20-23, 2025.   This is for all classes Todd will teach that are independent of learning centers.  All classes taught at learning centers will follow the calendar of the learning center, see their website for that schedule.

​

​

1.  WOODWORKING

 

Todd will teach a SEMESTER LONG Woodworking class in several locations.  Class length may be different at learning center locations - check their schedule for their semester length.  Students will be able to build a project of their choosing using all of the full-size power tools.  You can see pictures of some projects students have built in previous classes on the Woodworking page on this website.  See the page titled WOODWORKING to see pictures and get details.  Students all ages from 6 to 18 AND adults can take the class.  Younger students will get more guidance and oversight keeping them safe.  See the schedule below for the multiple sites for woodworking classes.  

COST: $480/student for the semester plus the cost of the wood they need for class at independent sites.  The cost will vary at learning centers based on the length of their semester and other particulars for each learning center.  See their website for the cost.  Make POs a single lump sum amount.

​

2.  AVIATION SCIENCE/CAREERS CLASS

 

Todd will teach an Aviation SCIENCE first semester, and Aviation CAREERS class second semester.  The Aviation Science class 1st semester will teach aerodynamics, engines, flight rules & regulations, airspace, flight controls, and more.  The Aviation Careers class 2nd semester will cover the wide variety of careers available in the aviation world.  We will talk about the amazing fast tracks available from the airlines now to get your students on their way to being an airline pilot that they can start right out of high school!  But there is much more to aviation careers than just being an airline pilot.  We will talk about aviation maintenance, aerospace engineering, air traffic control, airport operations, aircraft firefighting & rescue, military pilot, military enlisted jobs in aviation, and more.  First semester field trips will include a rocket shoot, flying a radio control plane, and a tour at the March AFB museum.  Second semester we will have 4 great field trips to schools and facilities to let students see these career paths first-hand.  They will culminate with an OPTIONAL flight at the parent's expense - each student flying a small plane with an instructor pilot - yes, they will have the controls!  Sign up on the registration page or on your learning center website for learning center classes.  Contact Todd if you would like a class for your group.

​

COST: $480/student for the semester.  Make POs a single lump sum amount.

​

3.  TACTICAL & OLYMPIC MARKSMANSHIP

​

Coach Nash will be repeating this successful class this year teaching Olympic Style Marksmanship using Airsoft pistol and Airsoft rifle.  Students will learn the basic concepts and techniques for marksmanship, Olympic style.  Student will learn body position, grip, breathing technique, trigger pull technique, and more.

Second semester we will progress to the follow-on class, Tactical Marksmanship.  This will teach students fire and movement, firing from braced positions and concealed positions, shooting the rifle on automatic, even a biathlon with running and shooting!  It will be a fun class for your kids, and a good follow on to the Olympic Marksmanship class.

Second semester the Tactical Marksmanship class will build on the fundamentals learned first semester and employ these skills in more "tactical" scenarios: Fire and movement, firing from covered positions, group fire, and even a biathlon!

We will shoot from short ranges at small targets.  Airsoft uses plastic BBs with green gas as a propellant.  There are no explosives, no gunpowder, and the plastic BBs will not injure when used properly.

​

COST: $480/student for the semester.

​

4.  VOLLEYBALL TEAM

​

Coach Nash will run a volleyball team in Orange County on Tuesdays in San Juan Capistrano, across the street from Capo Beach Church, the church where PC Prep meets.  The team is open to all home-schooled students regardless of charter school or independent status, grades 7-12, and will be broken down by age and ability, with separate teams for boys and girls.  We will practice each Tuesday 3:30-5:00 from Sept 3 - Nov 19 for the regular season (practices Tuesdays and games most Saturdays).  We will then continue practices after the competitive season concludes for those who want to continue developing their skills.  We will continue to meet Tuesdays 3:30-5:00.

We will play games 2-3 Saturdays a month against other home school teams, and play in a home school tournament the 2nd Saturday in November.  Many other clubs can cost $600-$800/month and more.  This club will be the lowest cost club volleyball around, and your athletes will gain skills and have fun!   It is designed for both new players and players with some experience.  Click on the page VOLLEYBALL TEAMS to get all the details.  Click on SIGN UP to register for the Knights Volleyball Team for the fall.  We will start practices on Tuesday, Sept 3, 2024.  The tournament will be Saturday, November 9, and the last practice for the season will be Tuesday, November 19.  Practices will meet at Field across from church at 25975 Domingo Ave, Capo Beach

​

COST: $440 for the season per player for the 2 1/2 month season.  Make POs a single lump sum amount: $440 for the season or $220/month for 2 months.   There will be additional costs for uniform shirt, game fees, and tournament entry fee. 

​

5.  FUNDAMENTALS OF SPORTS (PE) CLASS

​

The fall semester will feature some great sports for your children to learn and repeat over and over.  We will start the semester with baseball & softball, rotating to soccer and basketball for the semester.  We will mix in some recreational games throughout the semester. 

 

When students take a California Athletics class, each student works on individual skills the whole time, and equally with every other student.  We don't just throw out a ball and have them play large group games where the good athletes do everything and the new kids never touch the ball.  EVERY child works to develop their skills at their own level.  This class is ideal for your kids from age 5 to 18, regardless of how much experience they have.  ALL kids need to continue to develop their motor skills, coordination, and physical conditioning, whether they have no experience or a lot of experience.  We learn everything in life by repetition - let your kids repeat this class over and over!

 

Please remember, your students need to learn the basic skills on MANY different sports, whether they think they like them or not!  The sports we focus our effort on are MAINSTREAM sports, all of which should be experienced by kids at a PE level.  Let them choose the sports they play in a league based on what they like, but PE should not be optional for an 8 or 10 year old, or even a high schooler.  The state dept of education now requires PE of every student every year through high school graduation.  You don't let them decide to not learn subtraction because they think they don't like it.  It is an essential life skill, so they are REQUIRED to learn it!  The same applies to everything we will do in PE class.  Kids think they don't like it, only because they have no experience or skills in it.  Once they learn a little about the sport and gain some skills, they always enjoy it.  It doesn't matter if your child thinks they "like" baseball, they need to learn to throw!  It is a LIFE SKILL.  The same is true of dribbling a basketball, doing a good push-up, skipping, and hitting a volleyball.  These are essential motor skills kids need to learn and continue to develop, and they are directly linked to cognitive development.  Sign them up and make them participate!

 

COST: $280/student for cash/check or $280 for charter school PO for the 16-week semester class for independent classes not associated with a learning center, a real BARGAIN for a semester of quality instruction!  At Learning centers there are different prices based on the schedule and other particulars at each learning center.  See the learning center website for those prices, but make the POs as a lump sum payment for the semester.   Todd is a vendor with all of the SoCal charter schools who will pay, so you can get a PO for the class.  Please make the PO for a LUMP SUM SINGLE PO for $280 for the semester class.  The independent classes will go September - January.

​

SCHEDULE: The class at Independent sites will start the week of Sept 9, 2024, and go for 16 weeks through the week of Jan 23, 2025.  We will take off the week Thanksgiving and 3 weeks for Christmas from Dec 16 - Jan 3.

​

Cost: Independent sites will be $280/student for the semester.  Group class sites will be $300/student for the semester.

​

6.  BOOTCAMP - PHYSICAL TRAINING IN TORRANCE

​

This will only be offered in Torrance at the conclusion of the PE class.  This will be a follow on to that class for students 10 & older where we will do intensive strength and conditioning work.  It will be much more intense than the PE class in the physical demands.  The goal is to get students into significantly better shape and give them the tools to train at home between practices.  Students will do body weight exercises and train physically.  All students will be trained at their level.  So a student in "not good shape" can train alongside the other students in better shape.  I still recommend students take the PE class to work on motor skills and athletic skill development, and it will be a warm up for the BOOTCAMP.  I will NOT take the time to warm up kids when we start BOOTCAMP.  If they are not in the PE class, they need to come to the park and warm up on their own before we start. 

​

Cost: $200 for students in the Fundamentals of Sports PE class immediately preceding the BOOTCAMP.

$280 for students not in PE.
