I played against a home schooled bball team with my travel team in junior high several times. I'm pretty sure most of them didn't do school and just played basketball all day. All the fathers were completely insane and the kids were just really odd and awkward all the time, but really good at basketball.
Translation: young Shane's team got his tail whooped by a homeschooled team
Seriously, i was on several of those teams. They're good (typically) just because they practice like any other team, and not any more than other teams tbh.
Two of my brothers played on homeschool 6 man football teams and they routinely beat private schools. And they practice less than most teams do.
And "the fathers were completely insane"? Come on, now. Homeschooled dads are hardly the only parents to get too into their kids' sports

My son played indoor rec soccer here in Plano. None were homeschooled and there was at least 1 weekly "I'm sorry for my behavior" email.

We typically beat them but it was always far too close. We called them The Clones because they were all like 5 9 white kids and they just spread 5 out on the perimeter and would screen off the ball and cut. It was infuriating to play against.

Several of these dads were, which was why we thought they practiced more than most teams. I don't expect that to be normal though, probably just a small group of crazier parents who got together
There were obviously crazy parents who had kids in every type of educational system in my area growing up though
