THS
has one of the most varied athletic programs of any school in
Tennessee. Any student may try out in any sport for which he/she
meets the eligibility standards of the Tennessee Secondary Schools
Athletic Association. To be eligible for school sports six (6)
out of eight (8) subjects must be passed the preceding year. A
student MUST BE ENROLLED in at least 3 classes during the semester
of athletic participation in order to be eligible under T.S.S.A.A.
guidelines. (On-line classes do not count toward athletic eligibility.)
The following sports are available for interested students: baseball,
basketball, cross-country, football, girls’ softball, golf,
soccer, tennis, track, volleyball and wrestling. Eighth grade
students placed in the 9th grade are ineligible for sports. |
Coaches
make the decisions about who participates on their respective
teams. Participation in athletics is a privilege at Tullahoma
High School. Therefore, we expect all athletes to strictly obey
school rules. If an athlete is suspended or habitually violates
school rules, the athlete, the coach involved, the athletic director,
and the principal (or his designee) shall meet to determine whether
or not he/she should be allowed to participate in that sport.
Student-athletes will be drug tested at their pre-participation
physical and will be subject to random drug testing throughout
the year. |
| Students
must be present at school on the day of an athletic event in order
to play that day. Exceptions to this policy are: 1. Doctor’s
note giving clearance to participate. 2. Absent due to school
function. 3. Circumstances beyond the control of the student (to
be determined by Dean Matthews/Dean Hatfield.) |
