BUCS is a proposed combined regional athletics team for private school, charter school, and homeschool students across Washington County, Texas and surrounding communities.
The goal is to create additional high school sports opportunities for families who want Christian school, charter school, or homeschool options without losing access to organized team athletics.
This concept has been discussed with leadership from Grace Lutheran School and Citadel Christian School in Brenham. Both schools expressed interest and support for exploring the concept further.
BUCS is being explored as a combined regional athletics team made up of eligible students from private schools, homeschool programs, charter schools, and participating families across greater Washington County, Texas.
Rather than playing only local or intramural competition, BUCS would compete against other independent, private, and homeschool athletic programs through TAIAO and similar organizations.
The team representing greater Washington County, Texas would be called the BUCS.
Final launch sports will depend on participation, facilities, coaching, league structure, and scheduling.
Washington County is known as the Birthplace of Texas — and BUCS is being built with that same spirit of faith, courage, and community in mind. Through participation in established Texas independent and Christian school competition, BUCS would provide non-public school student-athletes in the greater Washington County area with the opportunity to represent their community at a high level while remaining grounded in character, discipline, and purpose.

No. BUCS is not intended to be an intramural league or local-only recreational program. The goal is to create real high school team athletics with outside competition.
The current path being explored is competition through TAIAO and similar Texas independent, private, Christian, and homeschool athletic programs.
No. Final launch sports will depend on family interest, participation numbers, coaching availability, facilities, league structure, and scheduling.
BUCS is being designed to remain affordable and accessible for families across the region. Any athletic participation fees would be expected to be comparable to what many families have paid in the past through private school athletics or homeschool athletic associations. In addition, several local business partners, donors, and community supporters have already expressed interest in helping support the effort financially, which would help substantially offset costs and keep participation accessible for families.
No. The interest form simply helps measure community interest and identify which sports may be realistic to pursue.
