Football
Registration for the Fall 2024 is OPEN!
Registration dates: April 15th- July 29th
A note to Junior High Football families (Grades 6-8) :
We recognize it is important that sometimes JH athletes try football before registering for the Fall season. If you would like to try spring football before committing to the full fall season please see your options:
1. Register for fall football below. This will guarantee your spot for the football team in the fall while allowing you to begin payments. If you choose this option please continue with registration as usual.
2. Register for JUNIOR HIGH spring football only: You can pay $100.00 and register for spring football only HERE. If you choose to play fall football we will give you a $100 code when you sign up for registration. If you choose not to sign up for fall football the $100.00 will not be reimbursed and will pay for the spring football training. Please note a waiver must be signed and brought to the first day of practice.
A note to HS football families (Grades 9-12):
Registering for the Fall season is a requirement of spring football.
All Texas Wind sports have the ability to fill up before the registration deadline. If the registration fills, we reserve the right to close registration before the deadline.

Our Vision: to be a Christ-focused football program that honors God first and works hard everyday and every play to win!

I = Insert Jesus Christ in EVERYTHING we do
N = Never be disrespectful, and
D = Do NOT ever give up or make excuses
OFF SEASON WORKOUTS
Coach Mario Price will begin leading our football off-season workouts on February 6th and they will occur every Tuesday from 4:30 to 6:00pm (that means, show up and be ready to go at 4:25pm for a devotional). Wear workout clothes, gym/running shoes, and always bring your cleats and water as well. Workouts are held outside on our game field located at 1100 East Lakeshore Drive, Waco - Texas Wind Stadium (f/k/a Parkview Christian Academy).
These workouts are open to any Junior High or High School athlete who is willing to commit to the football coaches that they will play football this year for Texas Wind (there is no charge to attend, just a commitment on behalf of the athlete – a man’s word is his bond).
As a homeschool organization, we need each athlete to own their strength and conditioning goals. We believe this self-discipline makes for better athletes and creates good habits for life. If you do not have a workout program, Coach Mario Price will help you build one. These weekly workouts are for accountability and to build camaraderie in the off-season. These weekly workouts should not be the only time an athlete who is going to play football for Texas Wind works out.
One Team, One Family, No Excuses!
Texas Wind Football is a member of Texas Association of Independent Athletic Organizations (TAIAO) and competes with Texas public, private, and homeschool teams. If you have a son in grades 6-12 who would like to be part of our team, we would love for you to join us.
