Homeschool Student Sports Eligibility

Homeschooled students are eligible to participate in school sports as long as TSSAA rules for homeschooled students are followed. Williamson County Schools has a process in place for becoming eligible to play school sports.

TSSAA Rule:

Section 15. This bylaw establishes the minimum eligibility requirements for a non-traditional student desiring to practice, tryout, and participate at any level in extracurricular athletics at a member school:

  1. The student must reside in the TSSAA member school’s territory.
  2. The parent or guardian must notify the TSSAA member school of the non-traditional student’s intent to try out and possibly participate before the first official practice date in the sport.
  3. A non-traditional student participating for an independent school must pay full tuition and abide by all financial aid rules. For the purpose of this rule, “full tuition” is defined as the same amount paid by all other students enrolled and in regular attendance at the school.
