It would depend on each team. Like my team really dosen't care who joins the team as long as they're in high school. (that would include homeschooled i'd assume)..

Teams from private schools obviously have the right to keep their team with closed doors. If you're not paying tutition for that school then that school has every right to say no or charge a fee to join the team.

Public schools have the right to keep their doors closed to people outside their town/city. However I personally think if you're paying taxes for a high school to exist your kids should be allowed to have access to that school's resources and activities (if your kid is expelled then thats a different story). I don't think a school system has the right to tell people who pay taxes to their school system that their child can't participate in FIRST, and thats when the parents and studen should call mayor's office of the city/town and complain.

If you live in Connecticut and attend one of the 20 schools in the Connecticut Tech School System, by law your sending school (public school you'd attend if you didnt go to the tech school) has to offer you to chance to participate in athletics and activites the tech school dosen't offer.
