Homeschool UIL Participation

Homeschool UIL Participation

Texas House Bill 547 gives school districts the option to allow homeschooled students residing within district boundaries to participate in UIL activities as a member of the district’s teams/events/activities.

Registration is open for the 2026 - 2027 school year.

In the 2026 - 2027 school year, Pilot Point ISD is again allowing homeschool students the opportunity to participate in UIL activities, provided they meet the following guidelines:

  • Birth Certificate
  • Vaccination Record
  • Social Security Card
  • Physical Form (to be turned into the coach and/or athletic trainer)
  • Provide proof of residency
  • All homeschooled students must demonstrate grade-level academic proficiency on any nationally recognized, norm-referenced assessment instrument, such as the Iowa Test of Basic Skills, Stanford Achievement Test, California Achievement Test, or Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills. PPISD will accept these assessment results if they are administered and reported by a third party. Testing must be administered annually to be current and should be submitted no later than the end of the first six weeks grading period (or within six weeks of registration into the program, whichever comes first) of the participating year.
  • In order to maintain academic eligibility, the homeschooled family must periodically (in accordance with PPISD’s grading calendar) provide written verification to PPISD stating that the student is receiving a passing grade in each course or subject.
  •  Provide required immunization records and speak with the school nurse to understand the exceptions provided under TEC 38.001.
  • A homeschooled student must participate in all required activities of the sport/event/activity they are a part of, unless otherwise approved by the appropriate coach or UIL Sponsor. This includes participation in all in season and offseason (year-round) school class-period practices, workouts, and/or meetings.
  • A homeschooled student must abide by the rules and regulations as provided by the PPISD Student Code of Conduct.
  • The homeschooled student must ride district-provided transportation to games/events.
  • A homeschooled student is not permitted to participate in a sport/event/activity during the remainder of any school year during which the student was previously enrolled in a public school (PPISD and/or other public district).
  • A homeschooled student is not permitted to participate in more than one athletic period during the day. (UIL rule for all enrolled students.)
