Tebow was home schooled

I'm sure most of you all already knew this, but I just learned that Tim Tebow was home schooled. Lucky for him, the State of Florida enacted a law in the mid-'90s that allows home schooled students to participate in sports at the public school for which they are zoned. Do we have a similar arrangement in Tennessee?

save the U.S. don't let your kid play soccer

Home schooling is really popular in Florida and it only makes sense that home schoolers be allowed into the extracurricular activities in their district because their parents are paying taxes after all. I'd be curious to know how they get around the pass to play rules though. It does seem that those could be circumvented quite easily.

Actually, home schooled kids can not participate in TSSAA sports either for the school that they are zoned or as a team of home schoolers.

There are several independent "leagues" statewide that are for homeschooled kids, but they aren't part of the TSSAA nor can they compete against TSSAA member schools.
