Homeschool Wildcats
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Homechool Wildcats (also incorrectly referred to as the "Indy Wildcats") is a homeschool basketball team which currently plays near downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. The objective of this organization is to come alongside homeschooling parents to give homeschooled children appropriate physical education in a team environment with Christian values.
The club's primary offering is boy's basketball, from 4th grade through 12th grade. It also has a substantial cheerleading program. Girl's volleyball made a comeback in 2004. A drill team (flag corps) existed for a while, but languished due to lack of coaches available to lead this team.
The Club's mascot is the "wildcat".

The Homeschool Wildcats are a non-profit organization, registered with both the IRS and the Indiana Department of Revenue. It is a "charitable" organization as defined by IRC 501(c)(3).

[edit] History
The Club was originally incorporated in 1996 as the "Wildcats Sports Club, Inc." There was a Board of Directors, but it was not maintained, and the Club fell into Administrative Dissolution with the State of Indiana due to a lack of filings.
A new board was created in 2003. The Club attempted to attain reinstatement with the State of Indiana, but was unable to produce the necessary back records to accomplish this. The Board then decided to incorporate as a new entity, which was accomplished in 2004.
