Playing sports was a huge part of growing up for me. I attended public school and was able to play sports year round through the school and various club options in the area. Now as I homeschool my daughter I find myself having to look a little harder to find athletic opportunities for her. So with that in mind, here is a list of sports opportunities in and around Delaware County, Indiana. Some may or may not be homeschool specific, and while our family has tried some of them, there are others we don’t have experience with. So as with all things, evaluate what is best for you and your family since we all have different needs and expectations.
