Maximize Your Training like the Pros
Energy Drinks, Supplements and More


I've launched a new campaign (via HSPN) tailored to the serious athlete and coach interested in healthy supplements for training and diet to perhaps enhance their performance. I recently became an Advocare distributor (thanks to my brother!) after using one of their many products and reading all of the endorsements (see upper right corner of this page). At the age of 47, I run 3 miles a day (without Advocare), and now I am anxious to see what affect Advocare will have on my afternoon "crash".

This is a perfect fit for what HSPN does - promote and help homeschool athletes, coaches and parents. For information (there is a lot!) and product endorsers, simply start here. Simply Start Here...

For example check out the SLAM® energy drinks:

SLAM® - Sugar-Free Energy Drink.

Or, Excel GEL® Replacement energy gel:

New Eligibility Rules
Will Take Effect in 2009

Currently, the Flames Officers have been undertaking the topic of Homeschool Students and Eligibility for Homeschool Athletics. The goal is to once and for all define and establish guidelines for homeschool students that can play Flames sports. The goal is to implement these rules by the start of school in 2009. This one-year transition phase should allow families time to adjust and/or make preparations once school begins in 2009. Coaches may decide to use this year to "grandfather" some players until the guidelines are fully implemented, effective August 1, 2009.

However, the following rulings will take effect on August 1st of 2008:

  • AGE: a homeschooled student is eligible for participation in Flames sports as long as he/she will not turn 19 at anytime during the school year (August 2008 - June 2009).
  • MEMBER OF ANOTHER TEAM: a homeschooled student is NOT eligible for participation in Flames sports if he/she also belongs on another team of the same sport during the same season.

Between now and next summer, a variety of surveys, voting (at Annual Spring Meeting) and final drafts will allow you to participate and help the leaders make the right choices. Some topics that will be included in an upcoming survey deal with:

  • What percentage of school work done at home is considered a homeschooling student?

  • How many classes taken at a Private, Christian, College or Public School is too many for classification as a homeschool student?

  • What defines a homeschool student?


Another future survey will define the best formula for practices/ per week, games per season, etc.
