An updated version of the TSSAA handbook will be available on our website prior to member schools receiving the 2010-11 printed handbook. When it becomes available, the updated copy of the handbook should be used to conduct coaches meetings. The changes are as follows: 1. TSSAA Constitution (Articles II and IV) – This rule has always allowed city superintendents of no more than one four-year high school to run for Board and Council positions. It now states that county and city superintendents of systems of no more than one four-year high school are eligible. 2. Article II, Section 9 (Coaches) – Allows classified employees to be used and not be counted as non-faculty coaches. They cannot be head coaches in football basketball, baseball, softball, and track until they have been assistants for five years and have met their requirements. Although not counted as a non-faculty coach, he/she must be submitted to the state office annually. All beginning, non-faculty, and classified employee coaches must now successfully complete the online Coaches Training Session prior to coaching. They must successfully complete the ASEP Coaches Education classes within their first two years. 3. Article II, Section 2 (Academic Rule) – Students on trimesters who are ineligible at the beginning of the school year may gain eligibility by passing five subjects (1/2 credit) or three blocks (one credit per block) or the equivalent the first trimester. These students will be eligible to participate in athletics when school resumes on or after January 1 of that school year. 4. TSSAA Constitution – Article VIII (Regional Meetings) – Members of the TSSAA staff conducted eight athletic district meetings last year in order to increase attendance. The meeting attendance actually dropped to only 69% which has never happened. Beginning with the 2010-11 school year, we will go back to holding three meetings. Those meetings will be in Jackson, Nashville, and Knoxville. The purpose of these meetings is to elect members of the Board of Control and Legislative Council and consider proposals to amend the Constitution or Bylaws which have been submitted to the state office by the October 15 deadline. 5. Article II, Section 10 (Physical Examination and Parental Consent) – The rule now states that no student be permitted to participate in practice or contests until there is on file with the principal a preparticipation medical evaluation form signed not prior to April 15. 6. Article II, Section 16 (Tuition and Financial Aid) – Division II schools that award need-based financial aid may now use one of the following services in order to determine the basis for need: FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment, Financial Aid for School Tuition (FAST), School and Student Scholastic Services for Financial Aid (SSS), Family Financial Needs Assessment (FFNA), Private School Aid Services, or Smart Tuition Aid. Schools must choose one of the companies for all student-athletes. 7. TSSAA Sports Calendar – The first official day of practice for football, girls’ volleyball, girls’ soccer, and cross country has been moved to July 26 for the 2010-11 school year only. All TMSAA member schools may begin practice on July 26 this upcoming school year only. 8. TSSAA Constitution (Article III & Article IV, Section 6) – This explains the duties of the various ex officio representatives on behalf of their constituents when in attendance at TSSAA Board of Control and Legislative Council meetings. 9. Rule #6 (Participation/Division) of the TMSAA Bylaws – The following statement was added: Once an eighth grade student who is enrolled and in regular attendance at a high school participates in a sport at that level, he/she will be ineligible to participate in the same sport for a member middle school.

B E R N A R D C H I L D R E S S When it comes to high school athletics, there are so many misunderstandings about the athletic association and the role it plays. TSSAA is a voluntary organization of member schools. Those schools have developed a legislative process they follow to write and enforce the rules they have established. The Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association is comprised of nine athletic districts across the state. Each district has a Legislative Council and Board of Control member that is elected by the schools in their area. The Legislative Council members are responsible for writing and amending the TSSAA Constitution and Bylaws. The TSSAA Board of Control members work with the state office staff to help coordinate and administer the programs our member schools have said they want. TSSAA is a member of the National Federation of High Schools (NFHS). All 50 states have an athletic organization that is recognized by the National Federation. All of the actual playing rules in each sport are written by the NFHS. A national committee in each sanctioned sport is selected to study and make any changes to the playing rules. Whereas all states follow the same playing rules in the sports they sanction, no two states have the same constitution, bylaws, and eligibility requirements. The mission of TSSAA, as stated in the TSSAA Constitution, is as follows: The mission of the TSSAA is to serve its members by providing leadership and coordination for the administration of interscholastic athletics, which will enhance the educational experiences of students. The TSSAA will promote participation and sportsmanship to develop good citizens through interscholastic athletics, which provide equitable opportunities, positive recognition and learning experiences to students while maximizing the achievement of educational goals. The purpose of TSSAA, as stated in the TSSAA Constitution, is as follows: The purposes of the corporation shall be as stated in the Charter of Incorporation and, in addition, to stimulate and regulate interscholastic athletic competition among the member schools in accordance with the standards established by those schools in the TSSAA Bylaws. This is the time of year when many questions about student-athlete eligibility arise. Listed below are a few eligibility requirements all student-athletes and parents should be familiar with: • A student must earn five credits the preceding school year if less than 24 units are required for graduation or six credits the preceding school year if 24 or more credits are required for graduation. All credits must be earned by the first day of the beginning of the school year. • A student must be enrolled before the 20th school day of the semester, in regular attendance, and carrying at least five full courses during the present semester. • A student is permitted eight semesters of eligibility beginning with the ninth grade. Junior division students are permitted four semesters of eligibility beginning with the eighth grade. • A student shall be ineligible in high school if he or she becomes 19 years of age on or before August 1 or in junior high if he or she becomes 16 years of age on or before August 1. • Athletes must live at home with their parents. • In order for a transfer student with an athletic record to be eligible at another school there must be a bona fide change of residence by the athlete's parents. • All transfer students must be approved by the Executive Director of TSSAA before participating in any game. • A student who engages in three or more days of practice - including spring practice - with a high school in which he or she is enrolled shall be ineligible in that sport for 12 months if the student enrolls in another school without a corresponding change in the residence of his or her parents. • A student whose name is listed on the school eligibility report cannot participate in an independent game or meet until the season has closed in that particular sport. (This does not include golf, tennis or bowling.) • A registered athlete cannot accept any money for athletic skills in any TSSAA sponsored sport. • An athlete may accept a medal, trophy, high school letter, sweater, jacket, shirt, blazer or blanket for athletic participation but nothing else of commercial value, and these awards must carry the school's letter or other appropriate award emblem. • All expenses to an athletic camp where specified instruction is offered must be paid by the athlete or his parents. • When an athlete is charged tuition to attend a school, it must be paid by the parent or bona fide guardian or other family member. • A student who repeats the seventh or eighth grade after passing that grade and participates in school athletics while repeating shall be ineligible to participate in athletics in the ninth grade. • A student may not participate in an all-star game unless it is sanctioned by the TSSAA and unless he/she has completed high school eligibility in that sport. In conclusion, the general public should not think of TSSAA as the building on Lebanon Road in Hermitage. TSSAA is the 394 member high schools and 307 member middle schools that work together creating athletic programs designated to enhance each student’s educational experience.

According to the TSSAA Constitution and Bylaws, “the TSSAA will promote participation and sportsmanship to develop good citizens through interscholastic athletics, which provide equitable opportunities, positive recognition and learning experiences to students while maximizing the achievement of education goals.” The Right Team is a branch of the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association which exists to serve schools in a more personal and accessible manner. The Governors Highway Safety Office supports the TSSAA Right Team through a grant. Program Description The TSSAA Right Team was established over 10 years ago to be a resource for schools in the following: -Student leadership development -Suicide -Alcohol, tobacco and drug prevention -Driver safety education -Conflict resolution/violence prevention/bullying -Sportsmanship and citizenship education In the last five years, the Right Team has directly reached over 242,000 students across the state of Tennessee. One of the most exciting programs offered to the schools through the TSSAA Right Team is the Magic of Stephen. Stephen Bargatze, the Director of the Right Team, uses his magical talent to entertain students in assemblies, clubs or classrooms. Stephen has performed magic for over 30 years and has won numerous awards in magic including: three time world of wizards champion, Southeastern Association Magician of the year, Midwest Association Magician of the year, and the International Brotherhood of Magicians Close-up Champion. Once he has earned the respect of the students through magic, Stephen has the opportunity to discuss the dangers of drugs, alcohol and tobacco, the importance of seat belts and the importance of avoiding alcohol and drugs while driving a vehicle. This year, Stephen will provide three programs to Tennessee schools. In the first program, Stephen emphasizes three points to the students which are to 1) respect their parents, 2) respect their teachers, and 3) respect themselves not to get involved with chemicals or activities that could harm them at school or on the road. This program focuses on students as individuals and the dangers of violence and reckless behavior at home, at school and on the road. The “Magic of Stephen” also makes presentations for adult audiences delivered at conferences for school personnel and parents. The purpose of the third presentation is to 1) to educate teachers as to their important role in preventing the targeted youth problem behaviors, 2) to promote the Right Team prevention efforts, and 3) to promote TSSAA’s mission of encouraging and enhancing sportsmanship and citizenship in the area of athletics and academics.

In just a few short months, the best teams in Tennessee will take the field in pursuit of the BlueCross Bowl Championship title. No doubt your team has already faced many challenges this season, both on and off the field. These physical, mental and emotional challenges build leadership skills, teamwork and healthy habits your students will take with them beyond their high school days. Healthy habits started at a young age increase a child’s chances of becoming a healthy adult who will make exercise and eating right a life-long priority. These healthy priorities are why BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee is proud to support the TSSAA and athletic competitions like the BlueCross Bowl. BlueCross is committed to improving the health and well-being of Tennesseans of all ages and believes that your student athletes’ healthy choices will inspire other students – and even other community members – to work towards their own healthy goals. By now, all high school head coaches should have received a BlueCross Bowl poster. Use the poster’s brackets to track your team’s progress throughout the season. If you have not yet received your poster, please email your name, school and address to Kathryn Smith ([email protected]), Corporate Sponsorship Project Manager at BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee.
