Academic Requirements and Restrictions
- A player must be a member of PCHEA.
- A player must be living at home with a parent or guardian.
- A player must be homeschooled. “Homeschooling” is defined to mean that a student’s education is parent‐directed at least 51%: the parents define the course materials, curricula, schedules, and other requirements for the student with the intent for the student to graduate high school. As such, parents can choose many options for completion of their established educational requirements for their students including selecting co‐op classes, dual‐credit college classes, tutors, correspondence courses, videos, online courses, and similar resources for their student’s education.
- PCHEA Warriors encourages the player’s education requirements to meet or exceed local and state regulations for academics and, if the player wishes to participate in collegiate athletics, to meet all NCAA educational requirements during High School.
- A player is ineligible if that player has gone through a homeschool, public school, private school, or Christian school high school graduation ceremony prior to that season’s first game.
- A player may be deemed ineligible if that player enrolls or is enrolled at any time in more than 9 hours of dual credit college courses during any semester term. A course that is classified as dual credit allows a student to earn both high school credit and college credit at the same time.
- A player cannot play on another homeschool, public, private, or Christian school team in the same sport at the same time as playing on a PCHEA Warriors‐sponsored team.
- If a player started the season on another homeschool, public, private, or Christian school team, no transfer shall be allowed during the season without the approval of the PCHEA Warriors board.
- Players must be in academic good standing at all times during the sports season to participate on a PCHEA Warriors team.
