<p>It’s the same here - that speech&debate is regulated by the state high school athletic association. My other kid isn’t an athlete, but is a successful speech&debater.</p>
<p>The rules here are very strict about homeschooled kids ONLY competing at the school where the parents live within the residential enrollment boundaries. There is no option for kids whose parents live within the residential boundaries of a school that doesn’t have a team at all. That is pretty unfortunate for those kids. We’re lucky the high school here has a very strong speech&debate team. The sports team my son has been on is much less strong, but it’s essentially an individual sport anyway, plus he has his year-round club team, so the quality of the HS team isn’t really an issue. It was more just a fun thing to do for him.</p>
<p>You didn’t say exactly… but did the transfer question get resolved in your son’s favor?</p>
