Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION 1. For any school in Spartanburg County School District 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7, during the sport season for soccer, a student, while a member of a school soccer squad or team engaged in interscholastic soccer, may become a member of or participate in an organized soccer team which is independent of the school's control as long as the participation does not interfere with the scheduled week day league games of the school squad or team. A school or student in those districts is not ineligible for participation in interscholastic soccer because of participation by a student as a member of an organized soccer team, which is independent of the school's control.

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
