The Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association administers the junior and senior high school athletic program for an estimated 110,000 participants, 374 schools, an estimated 4,000 coaches, 3,000 officials, and almost 5,500 teams. Participation in athletics encompasses all races and creeds and teaches a student that it is a privilege and an honor to represent his or her school. The student learns how to lose as well as how to win. The student has to be able to take as well as give. There is no greater way to encourage young athletes to continue their education than on the athletic field or in the gymnasium where the lessons are demonstrated under actual conditions. Leadership and citizenship experiences through athletics better prepare our students for a more useful and wholesome life -- and it's fun to participate.
TSSAA was organized in 1925. When the first state office was set up in 1946, the average daily attendance in all junior and senior high schools in Tennessee was only 85,000. Today's participation reaches almost 100,000. The TSSAA is a leader in athletics in the United States. Tennessee was one of the first states to offer interscholastic athletics for girls. Tennessee high school girls' basketball goes back to the early 1920's. The TSSAA was one of the first states to recognize and accept black athletes, the black high school program, and black officials. The TSSAA was one of a very few associations that integrated its program early and was not forced to do so under federal court order, as many states were.
The purpose of the Association is to stimulate and regulate the athletic relations of the secondary schools in Tennessee. Recognizing that the primary objective of all secondary schools is to Interscholastic athletics constitute a part of the educate youth, the TSSAA aims to coordinate the right kind of "growing up" experiences for American athletic and scholastic programs. boys and girls. Youth is interested in doing things well in belonging in displaying loyalty. With a well The athletic field and gymnasium are classrooms administered school program, students as well in which teaching is foremost in the development as spectators become better citizens through of character, integrity, sportsmanship, and team participation and observance of athletics conducted work. Although the athletic program is associated under established rules impartially administered. primarily with physical education and the scholastic program with mental education, one complements The Tennessee Secondary School Athletic the other. Association is a voluntary, nonprofit, selfsupported organization, conceived by school people (teachers, principals, superintendents) and administered by individuals carefully chosen to conduct the program.
