What is CHIPSoccer?
CHIPSoccer is a cooperative Christian homeschool soccer club where one adult from each family volunteers in a role on the field. We will potentially play in three fields: McReynolds Athletic Complex in Newport News, Warhill Sports Complex in Williamsburg, and a third location to be determined. We will have all games and practices on Wednesdays from 1:00pm-3:00pm. All your children will be able to play at the same time and at the same park. Each week you will either practice at your home field, play an away game at one of the other two fields, or host a game at your field. At the end of the season we will have a Field Day where all three fields will play against each other at one park.
Primary volunteer jobs include field coordinator, coach, assistant coach, team mom coordinator, team mom, babysitter coordinator, babysitter and equipment manager. Training is provided during the first week of practice.
CHIPSoccer is available to homeschooled children ages 4-18. We will have a Fall and Spring season each year. Fall registration begins early-August. The official 1st day of practice begins mid-September and lasts through mid- November. Spring registration begins mid-March. The official 1st day of practice begins mid-March and lasts through mid-May.

I'm sure I could spend a few more days deep diving the exhibits, but given the amount of time we have, it was great to cover all the majors in a matter of hours. Good starter for young kids so they don't leave with a terrified boring experience and never wanting to see another art museum.
There are so many enrichment events throughout the week as well, most recently my husband and I attended a morning meditation in the gallery. It was amazing to sit and go through a guided meditation based on one of the paintings in the modern art gallery.
Everything feels relaxed and well thought out. The galleries are clean, well lit, and not overwhelming, so you can actually enjoy what you’re seeing instead of feeling rushed or overloaded. The staff is friendly and helpful without hovering, which is always appreciated.
And honestly, the fact that it’s free makes it even better. It’s perfect for a casual afternoon, a date, or just wandering around when you want to do something different.
If you’re in Norfolk or the surrounding area, it’s absolutely worth stopping by. Easy, enjoyable, and way better than you might expect.
Be sure to stop by Zinnia while you’re there. It’s the perfect spot for lunch—fresh, flavorful food, a relaxing atmosphere, and a great way to round out your visit. Highly recommend both the museum and the café for a lovely, low-key day out.
Will definitely come back in the future for newer installations.
The staff was very kind, they open the door for you upon arrival and exit. They ask for your zip code at check-in, and give you a visitors guide. The staff are very helpful in answering questions as well. They have a beautiful piano played by some of the most memorable names in classical music, and we asked if someone could play it. They informed us that they have professional pianists come to play it to keep it in good condition. We are looking forward to coming back at a time when we can hear it.
For a free admission, this museum is a must for history lovers!
As someone who works at a Museum, I was surprised that the Chrysler Museum had no security check through to go by with all the precious artifacts they hold inside. I worry that someone could easily get into it!
We rank this as one of our favorite venues in Hampton Roads to film in and highly recommend it to everybody we meet that are still searching for the right venue for them, especially if you love art.
If you'd like to see their film, you can find it on our website and Instagram for some inspiration!
