I've never heard of this but I guess it would depend on the school and their policies. I'm doubtful that any P.S. would allow this.

I dunno if it has been changed, but from what I understand, here in IN anyway, the public has access to the PS facilities. As long as you don't "demand" a "right" in the middle of class, the kiln and pool are usable. I believe this extends to sports as well, call your local PS admin and see what is available to you :)

Thanks,i will check into it.Sports is important to my son.

Don't forget the sports outside of PS..

Baseball, soccer, karate, swimming, bowling, volleyball...

The local YMCA might have some ideas/leagues for you over the summer months :)

In many jurisdictions, home-schooled children participate in extracurricular activities including sports, music, and art activities at the government schools.

As taxpaying residents of a county or school district, it's a benefit that's worth investigating.

Do recall though, that the child may be considered an "outsider" by the other children in the group and treated accordingly. You may have to deal with that issue as well.
