Let me elaborate a bit.

My family functions as our own school. My wife taught public school in CA for 10+ years. My kids have been home schooled for many years in several states. They have a curriculum, and follow it. That said, we have not formed a legal entity such as a charter school.

The sporting events we participate in are typically held at other schools. Mind you, the vast majority are not held during school hours, and typically are on the weekends when no other events are occurring on the school grounds. Some events are held at public parks, and others at private facilities / businesses.

I wouldn't even consider carrying at a public school even after hours, when school is not in session, during the summer, etc etc. I park off grounds and walk in, too. There is definitely too much at stake there given the clarity of the law regarding school premises.

However, all the secondary sites seem to be fair game for CHL from a legal perspective. I do not understand the law enough particularly on this one aspect - does it mean educational program sporting events AT a school, or those BY a school or educational organization?

The league we are in expressly caters to "students" of course, but it is also delineated as a faith-based organization of home-school families. We compete with other similar programs, which are predominantly faith-based non-public schools.

Hmmm. Let me try to complicate this...

My kids are home schooled. We are part of a league created for home schooled kids. There is no single entity / school - phyical or otherwise. Am I clear to carry at those events as long as they are not at an actual school location itself?
