ST. JOSEPH, MO (KQTV) -- A homeschool sports organization looks to give kids around the area a chance at participating in different sports programs. St. Joseph Defenders Athletic Director Josh Castor leads the way for the program"I think sports are important, and we are here to provide that opportunity for homeschool kids to play sports," said Castor. "It's a very fun, Christian-based affiliation for kids to just come out here and compete and have fun," said McCurley. Sometimes people think that homeschool might be a couple (of) notches below the high school level, but it's really not." The Defenders are set to play their next home game at 8 p.m. on Feb. 9 at the Eastside Baptist Church.
