● All students must submit a physical exam form signed by a physician before the student tries out, practices, or participates. Forms are required each year and cannot be done earlier than
April 15, 2023 to be eligible for the 2023-2024 seasons. Students below 6th grade are not
eligible.
-
● Students must meet all TSSAA and TMSAA eligibility requirements.
-
● The athletic participation fee must be paid before a student is permitted to participate on the team. The athletic registration fee is $75 per child. If your child plays football or wrestling at
Tyner Middle School or Central High School, they are responsible for the Tyner athletic fee
in addition to our CSLA athletic fee.

with the exception of students repeating the 8th grade. These students are not eligible to
participate in the 9th grade.

work that has not yet been entered into PowerSchool by their teacher, they may attend
tryouts. However, the student may not make the team with an F.

and effort to improve the F. If no progress/effort is made then the student will be benched.
Tutoring will take precedence over practice or play during this probationary period.
