SB1822 allows private school students to try out for interscholastic athletics at their zoned public high school.

SB1822 amends Tennessee law to allow private school students to try out for interscholastic athletics at their zoned public high school.

Students must meet eligibility requirements set by the relevant organization or association. The act does not affect the authority of coaches or organizations to determine eligibility or enforce rules. The changes take effect July 1, 2026, for the 2026-2027 school year.
