Welcome!

About D.A.S.H.
     We are Dedicated Athletes Schooled at Home. We serve home schooling families in the Southeastern Wisconsin area with an opportunity to run cross country in the fall, and track and field in the spring.
     Our desire is to grow into a larger decentralized team, thus enabling us to function at a competitive level without duplicating administrative efforts.
     A faith in Jesus Christ is paramount in the coaching philosophy. This translates into a running experience which equips each individual to properly face life’s challenges.

Athletes needed
     Are you a dedicated athlete schooled at home? Do you have an interest in running cross country or track? Contact D.A.S.H.!  [5th grade through 12th grade]

Coaches needed
     This decentralized team will require additional coaches for the different locations. Coaching is easy and rewarding; and it can be done around your schedule.  Please contact D.A.S.H. if you can help.

HISTORY
     D.A.S.H. was founded in the fall of 2004 with a handful of eager young runners from local home school families.  We held weekly practices and had inter-squad races.  In the spring of 2005, we did the same thing for our first track team.
     We currently have middle school and high school teams for both cross country and track.  We compete against local public and private schools.

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize?  Run in such a way as to get the prize.  Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training.  They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.    ~ 1Corinthians 9:24, 25
