SPORTS CLASSES/VOLLEYBALL TEAM

FALL 2023 SEMESTER SPORTS CLASSES, WOODWORKING, AVIATION SCIENCE CLASSES, MARKSMANSHIP, & VOLLEYBALL TEAM

​

The 1st semester will start the week of Monday, September 11, 2023 for "Independent" classes, and go for 16 weeks, finishing the last full week of January, by January 27, 2024.   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 thier website for that schedule.

​

​

1.  WOODWORKING

 

Todd will teach a SEMESTER LONG (16 weeks) 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: $460/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 CLASS

 

Todd will teach an Aviation Science class in several sites in San Diego, Orange, and Riverside Counties.  The class will cover aerodynamics, engines, flight rules & regs, airspace, history, and more.  There will be field trips including a rocket shoot, radio control plane flying, and a trip the March Air Force Base Museum.  There is a slight additional cost for the ricket shoot and the Museum trip, the RC flying is included.  There are pictures of the Aviation Class activities from last year as well as Todd's aviation background on the Aviation Page of this website.  Sign up on the registration page.  Contact Todd if you would like a class for your group.

​

COST: $460/student for the 16-week class.  Make POs a single lump sum amount.

​

3.  OLYMPIC MARKSMANSHIP

​

Coach Nash will be offering a new 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. 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: $460/student for the 16 week class.

​

4.  VOLLEYBALL TEAM

​

Coach Nash will run a club volleyball teams in Orange County and Escondido.  The teams are open to all home schooled students regardless of cahrter school or independent status, grades 6-12, and will be broken down by age and ability, with separate teams for boys and girls.  We will have two practices available 2 days each week in Orange County, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 4:00-5:30, and 2 days each week in Escondido, Mondays and Fridays, 4:00-5:30.  Practices will be outdoors in parks.  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!   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 in late August so do not delay!

​

COST: $500/student for the 3 month season.  Make POs a single lump sum amount.

​

5.  FUNDAMENTALS OF SPORTS (PE) CLASS

​

The fall semester will feature a wide variety of fun sports for your children to learn.  We will start the semester with volleyball, followed with some pickleball, road tennis, and soccer for a few weeks.  When we do sports instruction, each student has a ball in their hands the whole class, working on individual skills.  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 with the ball 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: $260/student for cash/check or $260 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 $260 for the semester class.  The independent classes will go September - January.

​

SCHEDULE: The class will start the week of September 11, 2023, and go through January 26, 2024, taking off the week of Thanksgiving, and 3 weeks for Christmas, December 18 - Jan 5.
