Player Eligibility: Lighthouse Christian Athletics complies with a combination of eligibility rules from

MSHSAA (Missouri State High School Activities Association) and certain specific Homeschool athletic

associations relevant to each competing sport.

Athletes who are homeschooled or attend a private school without a participating competitive sport are

eligible to play for Lighthouse Christian Athletics.

Homeschool Player Eligibility: All homeschool player participants must meet the following guidelines

(per MSHSAA Official Handbook, Section 1.1.1.e.):

● Meets homeschool definition, as defined by the State of Missouri (MO Rev Stat § 167.031.2(1) &

(2) https://revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=167.031)

● Must have been homeschooled for at least 365 consecutive days immediately preceding the

competition season.

● Private And Charter School Player Eligibility: In order to be eligible as a private school

student participants must attend a private school that does not appear on the list of MSIP-exempt

private schools.

During the sport registration process you will be asked to list the school and/or cooperative your

athlete attends. If your school or co-op appears on the list of MSIP exempt schools, or if your

athlete attends a Missouri Charter School, your athlete will not be eligible to play against

MSHSAA competition.

For the list of MSIP-exempt private schools see the list published at

https://www.lcachargers.com/ under Resources -> List of Restricted Private Schools

Private And Charter School Player Eligibility: In order to be eligible as a private school student,

participants must attend a private school that does not appear on the list of MSIP-expempt private

schools. You will be asked to list the school your athlete attends during registration. If your school

appears on the list of MSIP exempt schools, or if your athlete attends a Missouri Charter School, your

athlete will not be eligible to play against MSHSAA competition. Additionally, it will be up to the

individual sport to determine if your athlete will be allowed on an active roster.

NOTE: Not all sports allow MSIP-exempt private school or charter school player participation. Please

check with the registration requirements for your specific sport to verify.



Any registration submitted that is found to have falsified answers to the homeschool compliance

questions will be immediately ineligible for participation as a Charger athlete for up to 365 days.
