Our Mission
To provide a Christ-centered environment for home schooled young men to
play baseball at the highest competitive level.
Wake County Home School Baseball was started in 2000. Since then, our program has grown to field four teams (2 high school and 2 middle school teams) that compete with other home school, private and public school programs in the area. WCHS has been successful competing against some of the top baseball programs in the area, as well as in equipping those players who have the ability and desire to compete at the college level after graduation. More importantly we have seen our players develop in character and maturity in Christ as they become equipped for the game of life.
High School Varsity/JV
The Warriors Junior Varsity plays a 20-25 game schedule against other home, private, and public school programs in the area. The JV team also plays in school team tournaments when appropriate. The Junior Varsity is an opportunity for younger players to develop their skills and gain experience in preparation for playing at the varsity level. Tryouts for Varsity/JV are usually held in the fall after a series of winter workouts. Practice starts early in the new year.
