SWCHA is a home-school
sports organization in Southwestern Wisconsin
; hence the name: Southwestern Wisconsin Christian
Homeschool Athletics.
SWCHA has existed for a number of years, and has many different sport programs in its organization, among them: football
, baseball
, volleyball
, tennis
, track
, and golf
.
In 2005, the organization attempted to build a football
program, but failed due to a lack of participants. In 2006 SWCHA tried again, and this time succeeded, and the team far exceeded expectations, ending up with a 6–2 record for their first season.
In 2007 the Saints succeeded again with another year of football, with enough players to manage a JV and Varsity team.
