Interscholastic Athletics
Interscholastic Athletics

Interscholastic activities in Williamson County Schools are an important part of the overall educational process. The athletic programs offer students expanded learning opportunities including self-discipline, self-esteem and teamwork. Students who participate in extracurricular activities tend to get higher grades, have better attendance and pose fewer discipline problems.

All Williamson County high schools offering interscholastic sports are members of the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association (TSSAA) and abide by its constitution and by-laws in addition to the applicable policies of the Williamson County Board of Education. The middle schools belong to the Williamson Middle Athletic Association (WMAA) and abide by its constitution and by-laws as well as the applicable policies of the Williamson County Board of Education.

The opportunity to participate in WCS athletic programs is extended to all students who meet the eligibility requirements of the TSSAA, policies of the Williamson County Board of Education and/or guidelines set forth by the WMAA. Before participating, students are required to have a physical on file dated after April 15 and complete the Final Forms process.

Multiple club sports that are not sanctioned are offered at WCS schools. Sports and locations vary. WCS offers the following sanctioned sports at the 6-12 levels:
Baseball

Basketball

Bowling (High School Only)

Cheerleading

Cross-Country

Dance

Football
Golf

Soccer

Softball

Tennis

Track and Field

Volleyball

Wrestling
Football

Grassland Middle School has two football teams - Varsity and Junior Varsity. The varsity team consists primarily of 8th grade players. The Junior Varsity team includes mostly 7th graders with the potential for some 6th grade players - depending on size and skill level. Practices and games will run until the end of September.

Grade Levels:

Students at all grade levels (6th, 7th and 8th) are eligible to tryout and participate.

Expectations:

Students interested in playing football should be prepared to practice every day in the heat and be willing learners of the game. Our team has players of all sizes, skill levels and previous football experience that strive to better themselves every day in practice. While not all players are big, strong, and fast, there is no substitute for these intangibles. Players should note that our standards of conduct and commitment are high throughout the season. Competition for roster spots is highly competitive.

Tryouts (If required):

Football tryouts are a process and conclude in early July. Tryouts consist of various non-contact drills and participant commitment to decide the best players for the roster. Before students can tryout, they must upload a sports physical to Finalforms and the "parent" portion of Finalforms must be completed.

Contact Information: For questions concerning GMS Football, please contact Head Coach Dale Nichols.

- Tryouts for the 23-24 golf team will be held on August 7th and 9th at Cheekwood Golf Club (formerly known as Spencer Creek). Players will need to arrive by 4:15 PM ready to tee off. Parents will need to return to the course at 6:30 PM to pick up their student. Students may call their parents when they are on the next to last hole. Spectators will not be allowed to walk or ride along with players during tryouts. Finally, you will need to pay the GREENS FEE for your two tryout rounds.
- Students trying out must have their own clubs, golf balls, tees, and a copy of a current physical uploaded to Final Forms. Students without a physical will not be allowed to tryout. Students should wear khaki shorts/pants (any color) and a collared shirt. No jeans, cut-off shorts, or drawstring shorts are allowed. Students may bring a pull cart or rent one since they will be walking the nine holes. They should also bring a water bottle.

If you have any questions, feel free to email:

Head Coach: Russ Keller

Assistant Coach: Alexander Eichner
Girl's Soccer
Eligible Grades: 6th, 7th and 8th

Tryout Information: Dates TBD – Usually late September

Meet in Coach Oldham’s room (600) after you dress on the 1st day of your tryout. It is essential that you be on time and prepared for your tryout. You should be wearing soccer attire (cleats, shin guards and shorts). Do not wear cleats inside the building. Water will not be provided. Please bring your own water bottle. If for some reason you cannot attend one of your tryout days, please see Coach Oldham ahead of time. Player pick-up will be in the car rider line in front of the school.

Some of the skills I will be looking for are:
- Ball control (through cones)
- Speed with ball
- Shots on goal
- Stamina
- Game skills (in short sided and full games)
- Most importantly… Attitude
General Information: Before you can play Grassland Soccer you must have an updated physical on file with the school or on Final Forms. As usual, the team will be divided into Varsity and Junior Varsity squads and around 30 players (total) can be accepted.

Furthermore, if you can’t commit to being at practices and games every Monday through Thursday as well as working hard, and being a team player, then this is not the team for you. Good luck to all of you and I look forward to another great year of Lady General’s Soccer.

A list of players who made the team will be on the Grassland Girls’ Soccer Team Google Classroom. Ask Mr. Oldham for the code.
