Public school interscholastic sports are controlled by the Virginia High School League, which requires the taking and passing of five courses at the actual school at which the student would participate in a VHSL-governed program. According to VaHomeschoolers co-founder Will Shaw, “The only exception is if the kid is taking and passing five at a VHSL-participating public school in a given public school division, and that school does not offer a particular VHSL-governed program. There is then a provision for an exception to participate in a VHSL-governed program at another nearby public school. The system and its rules are set up with only full-time public school students in mind.” VHSL has no dominion over PE classes or sports activities that are not interscholastic.
