Primary source on file: O.R.C. §3321.042 — home education
These figures come from our state requirements registry, which names ORC § 3321.04 for Ohio. We hold that citation; nobody has yet checked each figure above against the statute text itself, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise. Requirements change — confirm with your district before relying on them. See what we hold for Ohio, open it in the checker, or read how we source this. This is a homeschool PE reference, not legal advice.

Our registry records PE as not mandated for homeschoolers in Ohio, so there is no PE requirement for soccer to meet. Logged soccer hours can still earn a high-school PE credit on a transcript: keep the date, the minutes, what was taught and who taught it. Your evaluator, umbrella school or district decides whether the record is enough.
