[quote=Anonymous]Since no one actually answered the question...

What I have seen available is for Grades 7-8 as credit by objective for PE: http://www.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/files/ALHNWP61F235/$file/R3209.pdf  
Still have to complete the elements and the Health/FLE, unless opted out, but the actual physical education elements is covered by the athletic activity.

For High School I know a number of students have there schedule arranged and have some variation of the full day waiver:

So for example, an 8th grade girl who is a USAG Level 8 artistic gymnast who practices 20+ hrs/week and qualifies for regionals isn't enough because there is not a national competition at that level (L9/L10 there is).  I guess an equivalent would be for a boy playing AAU basketball who is invited to a national tournament does qualify.

As others have said (though, I agree not nicely...) a travel team isn't a high enough bar no matter the amount of time.[/quote]
