I Live in Ohio and my fiance is a graduate of Jefferson Township High School in Dayton so we're very dedicated in following their games. I am now interested in Home Schoolers that want to play sports because their team just made A Big Win but they were notified Today that the win didn't count and replaced their team with the higher ranked one because one of the children was home schooled. http://www.daytondailynews.com/s/content/oh/story/sports/high-schools/2008/02/27/ddn022808jeffersonweb.html
So I've signed up to this Forum because it meant so much to them and I don't want any other sportsteam to experience such heartbreak. They live in a pretty impoverished area and the win was against a team ranked much better than them. Earlier this year they lost a young student - he was hit and killed, which intensified their yearning to be the best they could this year.
Thanks Homeschoolers. I am now making myself aware of Your World.

Interested in the dilemmas of Home Schoolers that want to play sports..
I don't think Ohio allows homeschoolers to participate in public school sports, even if the school wants them to. Bills to fix this have been introduced, but nothing has really been accomplished so far.
My advice is to contact your state group (in this case, Christian Home Educators of Ohio) and see if they can use some lobbying help.
