NOAH BOARD ASKS YOUR INPUT
Eligibility Forum: Tuesday, OCT 25th, 7:30pm
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 East Bible Chapel located at 1215 South 135th East Avenue.
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 at
East Bible Chapel located on 1215 South 135th East Avenue. The Board
greatly values and needs your input, guidance and prayers!

NOAH Board President
NOAH Football Webcasting Live Coverage of Varsity
NOAH has recently unveiled a live network of varsity action for football fans.
After extensive several months of securing and testing the needed resources, NOAH now provides live coverage of out-of-town games, via www.NOAHjags.org
The network seeks to link into local broadband where accessable, When that is not available, the fall back is on a mobile phone 3G connection. Occasionally the crew is left with no more than a primitive EDGE data connection.
"Broadband allows us to stream a live picture and play-by-play; said David Van, Public Relations director for NOAH Football. "3G limits us to a 'radio broadcast' & less than that, and we resort to text and Twitter updates."
Jerome Davis, of the football operations, serves as the voice of the Jaguars. David Van adds color commentary and production for the network
Join us this Thursday as we travel to McAlester to take on top ranked 5A powerhouse. Vancraft Professional Services underwrites the production expenses, making this a free service to the NOAH community.

Some NOAH families are making plans to participate in the Homeschool Cross Country tournament(also taking place in Springfield). NOAH does not currently have an active team in distance running, but that may change as families continue to express a desire to make running sports a part of their student-athletes' homeschooling. Oklahoma Homeschool Athletic Access Bill Being Considered This is an interesting development, especially for very rural homeschoolers in South and West portions of Oklahoma, but it could create unforeseen difficulties for existing homeschool organizations and even more unwanted entanglements for families who choose to comply with public school requirements. We'll be watching this issue as it develops during the 2011 legislative session. |

NOAH Volleyball remains ranked 9th in Oklahoma 4A for the coming week. Last Saturday the varsity girls lost a close match to Oklahoma City Storm (5th-ranked in 4A). As the season enters the final weeks, the Jaguars will finish the season in Springfield, MO for the Homeschool Nationals. In 4 years NOAH has become one of the stronger prep teams in all of Oklahoma.
Maxpreps updates their national rankings late each Sunday night. Tulsa NOAH Homeschool is pleased to be solidly in first place among the 100 or so homeschool teams on the compiled lists. NOAH's difficult schedule is heavily factored into the computer rankings and scoring points against top national teams is one aspect of garnering good reviews. NOAH's schedule is the toughest in all of Oklahoma prep football. We congratulate the boys for playing with heart and dedicating themselves to be their best.

The Man In The Arena
THE MAN IN THE ARENA
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who
points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds
could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is
actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and
blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and
again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but
who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms,
the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at
the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who
at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so
that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who
neither know victory nor defeat.
(Excerpt from the speech "Citizenship In A Republic", delivered at the Sorbonne, in Paris, France on 23 April, 1910)

(Excerpt from the speech "Citizenship In A Republic", delivered at the Sorbonne, in Paris, France on 23 April, 1910)
This weekend, NOAH teams competed with the very best in Oklahoma. Defending state champions, top-ranked favorites, and worthy opponents. We celebrate the opportunity to play the best. We choose to continue believing in our teams. We thank all those who believe with us for great things to come, and we continue to work together, to make our collective dreams come true.
NOAH's volleyball and football teams continue to rank highly in Oklahoma.
