OUR MISSION
Southwest Louisiana Home School Athletic Club is an organization dedicated to the belief that a balanced and complete education of the young involves not only academics, but also participation in sports. As a volunteer-based organization, serving home school children in the Lake Charles Area of Southwest Louisiana, we afford young men and women, both teenagers and pre-teens, the opportunity to participate in organized sports in a Christian environment.
SWLAHAC is a member of Association of Christian Educators of Louisiana.
OUR HISTORY
In 2005, SWLAHAC was founded when some parents discovered their children's love for sports and nothing was offered to them at a high school level. After researching, it was discovered that there was a league available in Louisiana where a home school team could compete. Five families came together and formed a Varsity Boys Basketball team. The following year a Varsity Girls Basketball team was formed. By year 4, a Soccer team was formed. Soon we were able to form teams for Baseball and Softball. In 2011, the first Football team was formed and in 2013 the first Girls Volleyball team was formed along with Cheer. In 2015, we had our first Track meet and we formed a Pep Squad. Over the years we have grown from 7 athletes to over 100 involved in all the sports.
SWLAHAC from the beginning joined a leauge, ACEL, that is committed to providing athletes with competitive games while being grounded in Christian values. We have always stayed committed to both of these goals: Competition and Christianity.
