I found this article, from 2008.

“According to The Homeschooling Book of Answers by Linda Dobson, 24 states allow homeschoolers to participate in interscholastic sports (one school competing against another school). Those states that accommodate homeschoolers include: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, Washington state, and Wyoming. Vermont allows homeschoolers to participate in individual sports, like golf and tennis, but not in team sports.”

The article goes on to advise folks to play on homeschool leagues, and the comments section talks about how these laws are interpreted loosely by local districts. IN the end, it’s the district who decides. So, politics as usual.

It is helpful, when one is requesting their child be allowed to partake of the buffet that is local education, to remember..homeschoolers pay the same taxes as public schoolers...pure profit for the local districts.

If the state passes a law to allow it, then so be it. Thanx for the info.
