Yes! Our BOOST program is growing so much that we need you!  Parents are invited to apply to lead/teach a Boost activity, and students are invited to apply to participate.  BOOST activities will change for each quarter, but previous BOOST classes have included: campfire cooking, STEAM in Nature, Hip-Hop dance, iRobot Coding, sewing, archery, and so much more!  If you would like to be a BOOST teacher, please contact Sarah Lane, slane@silverdaleba.org. 

Silverdale's Outdoor Adventure & Recreation (SOAR) is directed by Mr. Al Rogers.  SOAR offers clubs such as fishing, mountain biking, rock climbing, archery, and Ducks Unlimited.  Students are invited to participate, and there may be coaching needs that parents are invited to fill!  

All private schools under TSSAA regulation follow the TSSAA guidelines.  Silverdale Homeschool is a ministry of Silverdale Baptist Academy, but families registered with the umbrella are not enrolled as SBA students.

In short, the guidelines, followed by SBA, state that students not enrolled at the private school may not participate in any TSSAA-regulated sport.  This is the case for any private school in Tennessee that is a member of TSSAA. 

Additionally, the ISC (Independent School Conference) requires participants to be physically attending and enrolled as a full-time student. 

Fortunately, we live in an area that offers a wide variety of athletic programs.  We suggest that you check with your locally zoned school, local youth association, and CSTHEA to see what they have to offer!
