To get to Hoosier Lanes, take I-64 West out of Louisville, go to the I-265 Interchange (heading NE, but there's really only one exit from I-64), get off at the first exit (Eastern Parkway), go left at the end of the ramp.

These lanes are clean, well-run, and just a joy. If you have younger children, it is easy to arrange for "bumpers", and they have smaller balls behind the counter, as well (6 lb.).

We are considering offering group lessons to homeschoolers who love horses from 3 - 4pm on Thursdays or 3 - 4pm on Fridays starting the first week of March. These are times that we can offer to homeschoolers since the other lesson students who go to public or private schools can't get here this early.

The group lessons will be offered to homeschoolers at the discount rate of $25.00 per 1 hour lesson. This includes the use of one of our lesson horses and a safety riding helmet if you do not have your own, approved riding safety helmets are required.

We teach both western and english lessons and students learn how to properly groom and tack up their horses, with their riding instruction.

We only have a limited number of slots available so if you are interested please contact us immediately as we will accept students on a first come basis. We are currently giving lessons to several lesson students with Ausberger's Syndrome and they have done very well in private lessons so if you have a child that has special needs that you think may benefit from a special relationship with one of our special equines you may contact us for more information and availability of private lessons, we do fill up fast with our regular lesson slots.

We are starting a volleyball clinic/team in Southern Indiana. My hope is we will eventually have a team that we could actually play other homeschool teams.

We will have 6 week sessions, the first starting September 6th ending October 11th. Age groups will really depend on the interest level, however we would like the minimum grade to be 4th. If you have a mature 3rd grade we will consider that age as well. Right now we are limiting to girls only. If the interest is there for boys we may do a session for boys as well.

In order to keep this a quality program, and maximizing your childs benefit we are going to limit each session to 15.

We are experienced coaches, Shelly has been a high school coach for years at Floyd Central High School and Coach for club teams at Union in Indiana. I played on scholarship through College and have helped coach in different areas as well as given some private lessons. Most of all we have a passion for kids and volleyball and would love to have your kiddos with us.
