EDIT: I misunderstood, there's no reason why you should have to produce grade school records for NCAA.

Colleges will want to see proof of high school graduation. This is usually covered by taking nationally standardized tests such as AP, CLEP, DSST, but if you didn't take tests for everything, you may have to produce a portfolio of work and/or transcript. The NCAA eligibility requirements state that you must:

* Graduate from high school;
* Complete a minimum of 14* core courses;
* Present a minimum grade-point average (GPA) in those 14 core courses; and
* Present a qualifying test score on either the ACT or SAT test.


Emphasis mine. They just want to make sure that the high school graduation requirements have been met. Whether or not this is required by law, I don't know for sure, but this is the reason why all of us have tested out of as many subjects as possible, or taken community college courses. It simplifies things for colleges.

Hey, here you go.

It's about the requirements if the student was homeschooled in high school. It doesn't say anything whatsoever about elementary school. The sort of questions the NCAA has asked about your daughter's homeschooling years are the same ones they're supposed to ask if she was homeschooled in high school (even down to the text book, etc..).

Someone there is definitely being snoopy, and overstepping their legal bounds.

Thank you all for the information. I questioned the coach and they were making a mistake - they thought she was home schooled in high school

They need no such information from grade school..

Thanks for the help all..

God bless...
