Change the law

Let homeschool kids play.

Sign to ask for a 2027 law that turns the 2026 homeschool study (House Bill 350) into a real right to try out.

Every family in Delaware helps pay for its public schools: $2.9 billion in 2024.

Sign to let them play

What your state asks

Nothing to meet today
Full-time enrollment. Only a young achiever enrolled at the school can play.

Do it

Step 1: The DIAA regulation requires a regular course of study at the school, passing at least 5 credits to play on a public school team. No district can change that.

2

Step 2: Ask the district in writing about part-time classes and clubs that are not part of the athletic association.

3

Step 3: Look at homeschool leagues, club teams and community teams for this season.

4

Step 4: Ask your state legislators for a law. The bill to watch is below.

The traps+

Leaving a school: Not used. Only a young achiever enrolled at the school can play.
The notice window: None. There is no route to miss today.
Get every answer in writing: An email from the principal or the athletic director is your proof if the answer changes later.
Letters and senior night: Ask about letters, senior night and team photos at sign up, not at the end of the season.

Your worries, answered+

Homeschoolers can't play.: True in Delaware today. The DIAA regulation requires a regular course of study at the school, passing at least 5 credits, and no district can change that.
We could enroll part time.: Part-time classes do not open a DIAA team.
A lawsuit would fix it.: Courts have never ordered a school to let a homeschooler play. Every state that opened did it by a law or an athletic association vote.
A co-op class disqualifies us.: A co-op or online class is still homeschooling. If anyone says it disqualifies your young achiever, ask for the written rule that says so.

The law, word for word+

The rule

14 DE Admin. Code 1009-2.3.2 (and 1008)
