The Tennessee Middle School Athletic Association Committee<br />
held its second meeting of the school year on Wednesday,<br />
February 19, <strong>2003</strong> at the TSSAA office in Hermitage. Committee<br />
members present were Hardin Satterfield, Mike Morrison, Vic<br />
King, Norma Beshears, and Chic Nute.<br />
Members of the committee approved the current membership<br />
list. We had a total of 21 schools that applied for new<br />
membership this school year. This brings the total number of<br />
schools in the TMSAA to 262.<br />
Committee members decided on the topics they felt needed to<br />
be discussed with our Athletic Directors during the TMSAA<br />
Forum at their conference on April 9th. Those topics were as<br />

1. Post-Season Tournament Financial Guidelines<br />
2. Game Administrators Meetings<br />
3. Classification for Tournament Play<br />

now include: Bledsoe Co., Cleveland, Dayton City, Jasper, Lake<br />
Forest, Ocoee, Rhea Central, Richard Hardy, Sequatchie Co.,<br />
Smith Co., <strong>Spring</strong> City, and Whitwell. These schools will be<br />
allowed to divide themselves into an East and West Area for<br />
post-season tournament play. The top two teams from the East<br />
and the top two teams in the West will advance to the newly<br />
recognized Sequatchie Valley Sectional.<br />
A request was submitted to allow 5th graders to participate in<br />
athletics if they attend a K-8 school. This request was denied by<br />
the committee.<br />
After much discussion, the middle school committee endorsed<br />
the TSSAA Administrative Staff assessing fines to schools that<br />
violate policy. This would include, but not limited to, fining<br />
schools that consistently submit eligibility and schedule forms<br />
late as well as non-faculty coaches not attending the required<br />
meetings within the specified time.<br />
Committee members voted to recommend to the Legislative<br />
Council that the TMSAA Sports Calendar be amended to read<br />
that football practice begin the Monday the week of August 1 or<br />
4 weeks prior to the first contest, whichever is later. Basketball<br />
practice will begin the Monday the week of October 1 or 4 weeks<br />
prior to the first contest, whichever is later. This was passed by<br />
the Legislative Council during their March meeting.<br />
