Virtual students gain access to sports tryouts

Effective upon enactment, this Tennessee law protects eligible virtual school students' access to public school sports tryouts. When a school's athletics group sets eligibility rules for virtual students, school districts must allow students who meet those rules. At schools outside such groups, districts must allow students zoned for and otherwise eligible to attend the school. A tryout does not guarantee a team spot; coaches and school officials still choose team members. Athletics groups keep their authority to set, change, and enforce eligibility rules.
