Many homeschool families would welcome this opportunity, though some wouldn’t. In some states (mine), homeschooled students are not allowed to play sports for their local public high schools. This is due to lawmakers and regulators in my state choosing, for whatever reason, not to provide the opportunity even though other states do so successfully,

And because the high schools don’t allow it, the elementary schools don’t. My diocese runs a CYO sports program at the diocesan level but limits participation mostly to diocesan elementary schools. I say mostly not because they welcome Catholic homeschool or public school students. They do not. “Mostly” because there is a Protestant grade school as a full participant in the league while many Catholic students are barred. I don’t get it. I’ve been told it will change but have not been told when. I’ve been asking for several years. I don’t fault my bishop. He has enough on his plate. I wish it would change.
