About Dallas HSAA Football

Thank you for your interest in HSAA Football! First, and foremost, the Dallas HSAA Angels football team exists to provide homeschooled athletes with the benefits of participating in competitive football in a Christian atmosphere. Please review our Statement of Faith here.

The organization desires to provide the athletes with instruction in the skills required for playing football and is committed to modeling and teaching Christian character traits, including self-discipline, self-respect, respect for authority, and good sportsmanship.

During the 2022 season, the Varsity team won the Homeschool Texas State Tournament and was the runner-up for the NHFA Division 2 National Homeschool Championship. The Middle School team went undefeated! 

During the 2023 season, the Varsity team won the NHFA Division 3 National Homeschool Championship. 

During the 2024 season, the Varsity team won the THIL State Championship and the AHFC National Homeschool Championship. The Middle School went undefeated AND unscored on!

Plus, we have multiple Dallas HSAA football players who have gone on to play football at the collegiate level. 

GENERAL INFORMATION:

Our football program is for homeschoolers. Please read the eligibility requirements here. We currently have two teams; one for middle school and one for high school (varsity). Below are the age requirements for both levels:

- Middle School is for 6th - 8th graders. Athletes must be at least 12 years old by September 1st AND they cannot turn 15 before September 1st.
- High School is for 9th - 12th graders. Athletes must be at least 15 years old by September 1st AND they cannot turn 19 before September 1st.

We hope that as our numbers grow, we will be able to expand the high school program and have a junior varsity (JV) team as well.

WINTER/SPRING STRENGTH & CONDITIONING:

Winter/Spring strength and conditioning is Mon, Wed, Fri from 2-4pm, January through April at Athlete Training & Health in Allen. It includes strength and performance training. Football is a violent sport and this phase is mandatory for an athlete's safety and development. Athletes must be registered for the upcoming football season in order to participate.

Spring Ball:

Spring Ball consists of 14 practices (some padded) and a Spring Game for high school. Middle school does not participate in Spring Ball. Spring Ball is when the coaches evaluate the players and begin forming depth charts for the regular season. Everyone who wants to play needs to make every effort to attend Spring Ball.

Spring practice begins mid April in the evenings from 6:30-8:30pm. Dates TBD. Spring Ball practice location is either at a Frisco ISD or McKinney ISD school. Exact location TBD.

Athletes must be registered for the upcoming fall football season in order to participate in Spring Ball; as we will be issuing equipment at this time.

PLAYER EVALUATIONS:

We do not hold tryouts for the middle school team. If you register for middle school, you have a spot on the team - as long as we have enough equipment.

We do not hold tryouts for high school. However, player evaluations for high school will be held during Spring Ball to help determine skill level and placement on either JV or Varsity (assuming we have enough equipment and enough players to field both a JV and Varsity team).

7 ON 7:

The Varsity team participates in 7 on 7 games every Tuesday evening in the month of June. Game time and location TBD.

Summer Practices:

Practice in June will be Mondays and Thursdays from 6:30-8:30pm. Practice in July will be Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30-8:30pm. Summer practices will be in the McKinney / Frisco / Plano / Allen area.

PRACTICE:

Training camp is Monday - Friday from 2:00-4:00pm, beginning in August until our first game. Once games begin our regular season practice schedule continues Monday - Thursday from 2:00-4:00pm with games on Fridays. The practices are held at Athlete Training & Health (ATH) in Allen.

GAMES:

Game location is TBD. Varsity games are typically on Friday nights usually beginning at 7/7:30pm. Middle School games are either Thursday or Friday, usually beginning at 5/5:30pm.

Once all the games are solidified, the schedule (including location for home games) will be posted on the homepage of our website and on social media.

STATE TOURNAMENT:

At the conclusion of the regular season, the Varsity team participates in the Texas Homeschool Independent League (THIL) State Tournament. It is spread over two weekends with both games played on either Friday or Saturday at the beginning of November. Location and time is TBD.

NATIONAL TOURNAMENT:

The Varsity team participates in the American Homeschool Football Championship (AHFC) National Tournament in Gulf Shores, AL. The tournament dates are usually the week before Thanksgiving. Parents are responsible for transporting their athlete to/from the location.  

COACHES & STAFF:

Reggie Davis is our head football coach. His four sons play(ed) on the Varsity team. Coach Davis played in the NFL and has been coaching for over 20 years with experience at all levels, from elementary flag teams to professional football teams.

Coach Davis and his staff believe football is an incredible tool to teach the life lessons that are critical to developing these boys into young men who will be godly leaders of tomorrow. Read more about our coaches here.

EXPECTATIONS:

Please read the HSAA Expectations form found here. We also require our players and parents to participate in both volunteering and fundraising.

PLAYER FEES:

The cost to participate in HSAA football for the 2025 season is $600 for high school and $450 for middle school. You may PAY IN FULL or select the monthly PAYMENT PLAN. Payment is due in full by August 1st. Please note the additional fees, options, and requirements below:

- There are additional fees for equipment rental (if needed): helmet +$100; shoulder pads +$50; If you are NOT renting a helmet because you already have one or plan to purchase one, your helmet MUST be WHITE with a NAVY BLUE facemask.

‍IMPORTANT Note About Purchasing Helmets: Please be advised if you decide to purchase a helmet that there are two classifications: Youth (middle school) and Adult (high school). Adult helmets can be worn for both middle school and high school. However, youth helmets can NOT be worn in high school. Therefore, if you purchase a youth helmet for your middle schooler, they will NOT be able to wear it when they move up to high school. Also, NOCSAE, the governing body for football helmet safety, requires helmets to be reconditioned every other year. If you purchase your own helmet, you are responsible for getting it reconditioned.

- Each athlete is REQUIRED to fundraise $500 (unless the fundraising buy-out option is selected)

- Each athlete is REQUIRED to purchase their own cleats, mouth piece, leg pads*, white or navy blue practice pants, and spirit pack.

* Leg pads: You have two options - 1) buy individual leg pads that can be inserted into the slots/pouches in the pants. 2) purchase a girdle which is compression shorts with the leg pads sewn in, in which case you may still need to buy knee pads. We suggest purchasing a girdle. Click here to see sample leg pads. Click here to see sample girdles.

Spirit Pack is mandatory. It includes the following: light blue HSAA practice shirt (long or short sleeve), white HSAA compression shirt, navy blue HSAA practice shorts (light blue shorts are optional), and HSAA practice jersey. Returning players can use their Spirit Pack items from the 2024 season. Click Here to purchase Spirit Pack items.
