SOAR Sports League

SOAR began in 1999 with approximately 175 children playing soccer. There have been many blessings to share since our inception, and we are certainly thankful for the foundation laid. Due to the fruits of many, we currently have over 1,200 children and adults playing soccer, baseball/softball, flag football, basketball, lacrosse and cheerleading. SOAR also offers a variety of arts and recreational programs, as well as summer camps.

Our variety of programs provides many unique opportunities for SOAR to share FUN, and fundamentals, with a multitude of people and families through the universal languages of sports, arts and recreation. SOAR owns and operates its’ 18 acre Sports Complex to serve youth and adults year round!

Located at 5637 Bush River Road, Columbia, 29212 (next to Cornerstone Presbyterian Church).

Tennis Class Online

Are you tired of spending gas, time and effort to run children around town for outside courses? Well then this class is for you. I am offering an online tennis class for home school students. Questions can be asked at the end of each session and you can e-mail the instructor at anytime with questions and comments.  We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity for the cost of one private tennis lesson. Eight hours of class time and a DVD sent to you at the end. You can find out more about this class and/or register for it by going to http://silverfoxtennis.com/homeschoolwebinar.htm.
