[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure why there are so many hostile responses. I looked into it for figure skating, my child is a national level competitor. We ended up deciding to do a combination of online and homeschool, but I did see some info online - and it did mention national/elite level competition. Does your son need access to a facility during school hours?

Has he considered online PE during the summer? You would have to pay, and I'm not sure if it can be used to leave early or just to take another class.

Good luck[/quote]

I don't understand either what the big deal is why everyone is so angry. 
I will look into him taking P.E. during the summer. Thank you for a helpful response.[/quote]

I wasn't sure if you saw this:

[quote]He needs to be in a specialized program that is approved by the school district. He should contact his counselor and start the paperwork now, it can take a long time to get everything signed off. His counselor and the person who runs the approved program he will be attending will have to sign. You need to provide your own transportation to the baseball program.

He will still need to take health and driver ed. That will take extra time that will need to be worked out with the school.

Kids who do these programs need to be ultra organized and self-disciplined. The outside program plus transportation take a lot of extra time out of their day and they need to be keeping up their grades at the same time. [/quote]

If he takes PE during the summer, he will need to have another academic class in that class slot if he will not be leaving the school for a specialized program. The summer online PE can be sort of a pain, so read the materials carefully if that is the route you and your son decide to go.

Good luck!
