South Bend Navigators

South Bend Navigators is a Christ-centered homeschool soccer program for middle school and high school students in the Michiana area. We offer a competitive and encouraging environment where student-athletes can grow in character, discipline, and skill through the game of soccer.

Vision, Mission & Purpose

Vision

To see homeschool students grow into leaders—on the field and in life—through disciplined, faith-driven athletics and community.

Mission

To develop the character of young men and women through the game of soccer—cultivating Christlike attitudes, discipline, and teamwork both on and off the field.

Purpose

To provide homeschool students with the opportunity to grow, connect, and build community through fall soccer in a Christ-centered, homeschool-based environment.

Why the Navigators?

We chose the name Navigators because it reflects the very heart of our mission—guidance, leadership, and spiritual growth.

In the Christian faith, life is often described as a journey—one that requires direction, courage, and faithful guidance. A navigator is someone who not only follows a path with purpose, but also helps others stay on course. This is exactly the kind of mentoring and character-building we want to bring into the world of homeschool sports in South Bend.

At South Bend Navigators, we believe youth sports—especially homeschool soccer for high school and middle school students—offer more than just physical training. They offer a chance to shape young men and women into leaders, both on and off the field.

Through every drill, practice, and match, our players learn more than tactics and teamwork. They learn:

• Discipline through hard work

• Humility in victory and grace in defeat

• Accountability to teammates and coaches

• The value of servant-leadership

• And most importantly, how to navigate life with integrity and purpose

This is why the SB Navigators exist—not just to fill a gap in homeschool soccer in South Bend, but to raise up young people who will lead with strength, faith, and conviction. We’re proud that our name tells that story every time we take the field.

Our Story

Finding homeschool sports in South Bend isn’t always easy—especially for middle and high school students who love soccer. Some public and private schools offer limited access, but those paths often come with complications: enrollment requirements, eligibility rules, or unforeseen tension.

In spring 2025, a group of committed families decided to build something better: a competitive homeschool soccer club led by homeschoolers themselves. That vision became the South Bend Navigators.

We now offer fall soccer seasons for high school and middle school homeschool students, with coaching, community, and competition—without the red tape. Our program allows players to develop both their athletic skills and their personal values in a faith-based setting.

Join Us!

This is just the beginning. As we grow, our hope is to expand our talents and abilities. We are just getting started, but we hope to continue to grow  the homeschool soccer skills and be a competitive high school club each fall! If you’re a homeschool family in South Bend, Mishawaka, Elkhart, or Northern Indiana looking for homeschool soccer, we invite you to be part of the Navigators’ story.
