The Rochester Area Homeschool (RAHS) Defenders Sports programs exist to give homeschool student athletes an opportunity to use their God-given athletic abilities in athletic competition while at the same time encouraging them to glorify God in all they do.

Announcements

Registration for the 2025-26 Season is now closed. 

Support Defenders Basketball!! We have an ongoing fundraiser to support the program and keep player fees down. Purchase Kwik Trip Gift cards that can be used like cash for gas, food, and anything you typically buy at Kwik Trip gas stations. This is such an easy and practical way to support Defenders Basketball as there is zero mark-up on the giftcards. What you pay for is exactly the value that you get and the same as using cash or credit at the store.  Please contact Jon Potter, Defenders Basketball AD @ jpotter@defenderssports.org to get your cards. Use them for yourself or give as a gift.

Defenders Basketball is now part of the Minnesota Christian Athletic Conference

Beginning with the 2024-25 season, the Defenders Basketball varsity teams joined the Minnesota Christian Athletic Conference (MCAC), a league of Christian schools. MCAC is the result of a merger between the former Christian Athletic League and the former Minnesota Association of Christian Schools. Here is the MCAC website: MCAC website
