NOAH Parents,
I
hope the 2011-12 school year is going well for everyone. Whether you
are wrapping up, in the middle of, or preparing for your season We pray
that this season is the most God glorifying NOAH season ever!
The NOAH Board would like to invite any parents interested to attend this months board meeting which will be held on Tuesday, October 25th at 7:30pm at Tulsa Hills Church, located at 840 W 81st St., Tulsa, OK 74132 (map)
The topic the NOAH board requests your input on is.....DEFINING NOAH ELIGIBILITY.
With
the landscape of homeschooling broadening all around us, it is
imperative that we prayerfully set the course for the near future of
NOAH athletics regarding some foundational questions. As
players, parents, coaches, Athletic Directors and Board Members we are
all being ask on an increasing basis "Who can play for NOAH?", "How do
we define Homeschooling?" "Who does NOAH serve?" even........"What is
the purpose of NOAH?"
Homeschool
organizations across the country are working through the same issues.
Decisions on how to define homeschooling for eligibility purposes are
varied, ranging from a simple question being ask of each family such as
"Do you homeschool 51% of the time?" to a more detailed look at how,
when and where a family educates are being used to determine
eligibility. As you all know there are many more homeschooling options
today for a family to consider then when NOAH was formed a dozen years
ago. We all have kids involved in or families coming to us with
questions regarding NOAH eligibility of student athletes that are being
educated from home via online courses in both public, private and
charter programs, some part time others full time. The same is to be
said regarding Tutorial Centers and Co-Ops. The trend around us seems to
be only broadening so the need for us to set the course is at a all
time high.
If
you are interested in attending, please mark your calendars, make
arrangements and come with your thoughts ready to be expressed on Tuesday, October 25th at 7:30pm on Tuesday, October 25th at 7:30pm at Tulsa Hills Church, located at 840 W 81st St., Tulsa, OK 74132 (map). The Board
greatly values and needs your input, guidance and prayers!

NOAH Volleyball Finishes High in National Competition
The Jaguar volleyball squads lived up to their highest expectations last weekend, with the varsity making the elite list in the Quarter Finals of 6A championship competition. Four pools were drawn up for seeding purposes early in the 4-day event. NOAH performed well enough to be selected to the championship bracket. Their only loss in pool play was to eventual national champion, Crossroads Crusaders of Chicago.
The JV squad placed 2nd in 3A competition, while the Junior High squad placed 2nd in 5A (6th over all in JH). While NOAH's varsity did eventually place 7th, they matched their pretournament national rankings per CBS Sports' MaxPreps Freeman Rankings.
More significantly, NOAH Volleyball is among the top 1/3 of all teams (public & private) in both Oklahoma and the nation at large. In just 4 years Athletic Director Raeann Heath and the dedicated coaching & volunteer staff have led a great group of girls to very significant accomplishments.

NOAH Football Leads Homeschool Rankings
The Oct. 24th MaxPreps Rankings just placed Tulsa NOAH Homeschool at the top of the rankings chart of Homeschool Teams. While some have been disappointed at the win-loss record, a closer study shows that the Jaguars have the toughest schedule on all of Oklahoma prep football. Four on the losses came to teams who are still undefeated late in the season. Two of the losses came to teams who lead their state's rankings of all teams in all classes. Five of the losses came from teams in the top 10 in class rankings.
NOAH's toughest opponent in homeschool rankings (Maryland Christian) fell 1000 spots below the Jaguars, in today's ratings update. Most homeschool teams do not play highly enough ranked schedules to allow their rankings to reach NOAH's level.
NOAH JV vs Cascia
NOAH's Junior Varsity will complete their 2011 schedule Monday night at Cascia Hall. Last year's matchup came down to the wire against the powerful Comandos. Gametime is 6pm at Cascia Hall.
NOAH Varsity vs Union JV
NOAH's big showdown with Union's 2nd team will be a 7pm, Thursday. The Tulsa Homeschool Band will join our fans in the stands. Local media will be following this historic matchup. NOAH is 2-2 over the past 4 years. The winner is usually determined by less than 3 points.
NOAH Flag Football Playoffs
This Saturday is the Title Day for flag football. NOAH has always been a top contender in the Rejoice League. Come out and cheer on the boys at 9am, in Owasso.
