- Sports. In addition to several informal group-activities and some formal p.e. programs, there are five homeschool sports teams in the Austin Metro:
- Martial Arts. There are several dojos that offer martial arts in the Austin Metro. We’re particularly fond of the Martial Arts of Austin and Street Smart in Kyle.
- Music. The sky’s the limit with music lessons, but the Christian Choral Society of Austin and Christian Youth Band of Austin are the two best choices for choir and band for homeschoolers in this area.
- Art. Many art classes and workshops exist in the homeschool co-op groups. See Local Groups under the LOCATIONS menu.
- Dance. Here again, the sky’s the limit in dance lessons, but only one claims to be solely for homeschoolers: FLEX Homeschool Dance.
- Theatre. Some co-op groups offer theatre classes, Veritas Academy being one of them. They won the state competition last year!
- Chess. Some homeschool academic resources offer it as a class, One Day Academy, for example. The Austin Area Homeschoolers have a Chess Club that meets weekly and there are many other chess clubs around too. It’s a lot more popular than you’d think.
- Robotics. This is a big hit with children of all ages. The most famous homeschool robotics club in the area is the Disgruntled Robots. They made it to the World Championship in 2014!
- 4-H. Here’s another great opportunity. There are numerous activities to do as a homeschool 4-h-et, from baking to Border Collies, there’s something for everyone. One local homeschool family got to represent Travis County 4-H in Georgia at the National Congress last year!
- Other Activitiess. The list is long enough already, but other activities include things like the Austin Rhetoric Club and Scouting (Boy Scouts and Trail Life, Girl Scouts and Heritage Girls) to name a few.
