My daughter attends Innovation Academy in Fulton. They do not have sports and kids are not allowed to play for their regular home zoned high school if they attend IA.
Are there any spring play options available for her? Could a private school pick her up and I play them a fee? Looking for any options.

Here is my understanding, but I would confirm as it can vary year to year and league to league I think - If it is still part of the public school system, private schools will not be allowed to add them to roster. Private schools can sometimes add homeschool students in their league (with restrictions/limits) and sometimes can roster students from other private schools if their private school doesn’t offer that sport and is in the same league.

Each private school would handle this differently. I’m sure there’s liability issues having a non student participate in sports plus the whole academic side. If they’re a GHSA school I doubt GHSA would allow it for varsity sports as well. I know Gwinnett is dealing with this with the Paul Duke STEM school as they do not offer sports and currently those students are not allowed to play for their district school either.
I know Middle schools do allow this as St Pius fields most of their MS teams with students from public and private schools in their area.

Homeschoolers can now play GHSA sports. The law changed. Each county will have there own guidelines to follow to qualify your homeschool student into athletics or extracurricular activities. I would do a search on your county DOE website for those guidelines. senatepress.net/gov-brian-kemp-signs-bill-to-allow-home-schoolers-to-play-sports.htmlMy homeschooled daughter is set to try-out and play spring soccer on the varsity team at our high school. |

St. Pius fields ALL of its middle school teams from other schools because it does not have a middle school. Pius starts in the 9th grade. Same thing for Blessed Trinity. |

That is good to hear, I knew that was being worked on but not that it had passed. It makes sense as they are in that district and paying the taxes being used to fund the school and the athletics programs. |

GHSA, GISA, GAPPS, and whatever ones I am leaving out all have specific rules the schools must abide by to be part of their league. They have rules about the players that can be rostered on your team and about the teams you can play that can be different from league to league.

Are there any spring play options available for her? Could a private school pick her up and I play them a fee? Looking for any options. If she is u15 (2007) some clubs have a spring gap year league If she is U16 (2006) or older why not play spring rec? (Here me out …) In high school they are playing multiple age groups so why not play in a rec league at an age group or two up and get the experience of older age game play and develop skills, leadership, and since most on this forum agree high school is about playing on a team “with your friends” I suggest that the spring rec teams are going to generally have players at that age who certainly still love the game if they are still playing in high school. And since you mentioned paying … maybe even add a paid trainer to do a team clinic or two for the team?! Actually the more I talk about this … let me know who else wants in on this LOL Sounds like fun LOL |
