Zu diesem Zweck haben wir die North Carolinians for Home Education Athletic Commission (NCHEAC) gegr\u00fcndet. Die NCHEAC ist Teil von NCHE und organisiert Ligen und Turniere in den traditionellen Highschool-Sportarten. Besonderheiten: Unsere Heimsch\u00fcler-Teams bestehen ausschlie\u00dflich aus Heimsch\u00fclern und werden haupts\u00e4chlich von Eltern trainiert, die ihre Kinder zu Hause unterrichten. Viele von ihnen haben Erfahrung im Highschool- und\/oder College-Sport. Wir richten uns nach den Regeln der National Federation of State High Schools Associations (www.nfhs.org) und bieten ein \u00e4hnliches Wettkampfniveau wie viele Schulmannschaften, ohne dabei die Fairplay-Werte zu beeintr\u00e4chtigen. Unser Wettbewerbsniveau ist h\u00f6her als im Freizeitsport, stellt aber keine \u00fcberm\u00e4\u00dfige Reisebelastung f\u00fcr Familien dar, die in \u201cReisemannschaften\u201d aktiv sind. Um an einem Team oder einer Sportart der NCHEAC teilnehmen zu k\u00f6nnen, m\u00fcssen Sch\u00fclerinnen und Sch\u00fcler die Bestimmungen des Heimschulgesetzes von North Carolina einhalten. Dieses definiert Heimunterricht als \u201ceine nicht-\u00f6ffentliche Schule, die aus den Kindern von maximal zwei Familien oder Haushalten besteht, wobei die Eltern, Erziehungsberechtigten oder Mitglieder eines der beiden Haushalte den Umfang und die Reihenfolge des Unterrichts festlegen, den Unterricht erteilen und zus\u00e4tzliche Unterrichtsquellen bestimmen\u201d (Zitat von der Website des NC DNPE). Weitere Informationen und Richtlinien finden Sie in der Regelerkl\u00e4rung und im Abschnitt \u201cDefinition eines Heimschulsportlers\u201d des NCHEAC-Handbuchs. NCHEAC.COM Umfassende Informationen zur Konferenz und Liga, inklusive Statistiken, finden Sie auf ncheac.com. Sportkommissar Dale Brown ist seit 2007 Mitglied der NCHE-Sportkommission. Er und seine Frau Angela leben im n\u00f6rdlichen Orange County und unterrichten ihre Kinder seit 1993 zu Hause. Dale ist der Landeskommissar der NCHE-Sportkommission und verwaltet die North Carolina Homeschool Leagues sowie die Nachsaison-Turniere in Baseball, Basketball (Jungen\/M\u00e4dchen), Fu\u00dfball (Jungen\/M\u00e4dchen), Volleyball, Golf, Crosslauf und Schwimmen.
