Meet the Directors
Darrell & Hannah Hamilton
Our desire for the league is to give glory to the Lord. To provide a fun, competitive league for the co-ed homeschool volleyball teams in the region. We encourage good sportsmanship, Godly leadership, trust and selflessness and fellowship among the teams. We encourage complimenting opponents during matches. We do not encourage rivalries. Our purpose is to demonstrate to others that friendly competition exists. We consider our league a developmental league.
Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do,
do all to the glory of God.
- I Corinthians 10:31

With 30 teams & 200 competitors from six different cities, Oklahoma Homeschool Volleyball League welcomes the largest concentration of homeschool teams in Oklahoma, offering Co-ed Advanced (Gold & Silver divisions), Co-ed Intermediate (Copper & Bronze divisions) & Co-ed Beginner (Brass Division).
