VISION:  As an organization Parker-Tarrant Home School Sports seeks to raise up the next generation of passionate disciples for Jesus Christ through the venue of competitive team athletics MISSION:  Parker-Tarrant Home School Sports exists to promote and accomplish sports education for the Texas Home School student in a Christian environment. With a focus primarily in the Parker County and West Tarrant County areas of North Texas, the organization’s objective is to provide a competitive environment for middle school and high school sports competition that is not normally provided by traditional home school organizations or support groups. PTHSS desires to accomplish this goal in a way that both works alongside the parents and honors Jesus Christ. Currently the PTHSS organization offers boys' Varsity and Junior Varsity Baseball, boys' Basketball from middle school through high school, girls' high school basketball and girls' Varsity and Junior Varsity Volleyball. Six-Man boys' football is being added this fall! Other sports programs and age divisions may be offered in the future. Many of the PT Warriors athletic activities occur at Birchman Baptist Church in West Fort Worth. Click here for directions to Birchman. Annual Member & Information Meeting Held: Parker-Tarrant Home School Sports held it's annual Member and Information meeting on Monday, 30 June 2008. A wide variety of both current members and potential new members attended. In addition to providing information on the Sports programs to be offered during the upcoming school year, the current members voted on the Organization's Board of Trustees and President for July 2008 through June 2010.  Please refer to the Organization Page for more information on or Board or Officers.
