CLASSES & SCHEDULE

SPORTS CLASSES/VOLLEYBALL TEAM

FALL 2025 SEMESTER SPORTS CLASSES, WOODWORKING, AVIATION SCIENCE CLASSES, MARKSMANSHIP, & VOLLEYBALL TEAM

The 1st semester this fall will start the week of Tuesday, September 2, 2025 for some sites, and later for others. See the schedule below for specifics. 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: $500/student for the semester plus the cost of the wood they need for class. The cost may 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: $500/student for the semester. Make POs a single lump sum amount.

3. TACTICAL & OLYMPIC MARKSMANSHIP

Coach Nash will be 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, and 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.

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

COST: $500/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 5-12, and will be broken down by age and ability, with separate teams for boys and girls. During the fall season, we will practice each Tuesday 3:30-5:00 from September 2, 2025 through the end of the semester, and play some intermittent games on Saturdays in the home school league against other home school teams. We will also play in the home school tournament all day Saturday, November 8, 2025 in Orange County. Players will buy a uniform shirt for $40 and provide their own black shorts. No experience is required, Coach Nash will teach players the skills they need to get their first competitive volleyball experience, or continue with their competitive volleyball.

After the regular season ends with the tournament, and through the spring semester, we will continue to practice and play "inner-squad" games. The off-season practice will help players develop their skills so they are ready for the fall volleyball season. 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.

COST: $500/month for the fall semester to include the team games, 4 practices/month, or $400 for the 4 month semester for practices only. There are additional costs in the fall semester for those playing team games for the uniform shirt ($40), game fees (usually $10-$15/player/game), and the tournament (usually around $75/player).

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 volleyball and move to basketball for the 2nd part of the semester. We will mix in some recreational games throughout the semester. For the first part of the semester, Coach Nash will bring the volleyballs and nets, but for the 2nd part of the semester, students will need to bring their own basketball. Coach Nash will help you with the proper size basketball to get before we

start that portion.

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: $300/student for cash/check or $300 for charter school PO for the semester class, a REAL BARGAIN for a semester of quality instruction! At Learning centers there may be 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 $300 for the semester class. The independent classes will go September - January.

SCHEDULE: The class at Independent sites will start the week of Sept 8, 2025, and go for 15 weeks through the week of Jan 12, 2026. We will take off the week Thanksgiving and 3 weeks for Christmas from Dec 15 - Jan 2.

Cost: $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 Sept 11, 2025 - Jan Jan 15, 2026. 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.

7. TORRANCE ROCKET & AIRPLANE BUILDING AND FLYING

This will only be offered in Torrance at the conclusion of the PE class and Bootcamp workout in the fall. This class is for students 8 & older. We will start the 15 week semester course building Estes Rockets from a kit. Each student will build a rocket. We will then have a Saturday Launch in Corona. We will follow that with students working together to build a Radio Control Airplane from Foamboard and part - servos, motors, receivers, and fly it! Students will learn to fly for a couple weeks using the beginner planes coach Nash has for them. Students can also bring their own planes to fly.

Cost: $400/student plus materials for the Rockets and Foam Board built airplane. Coach Nash will supply the planes to learn to fly.

Time: Thursdays 2:30-4:00 at McMaster Park, occasionally possibly at the Chavira house 3:00-4:30.
