Here is my questions. What is the rule for players at the middle school level? do they apply the same as they do for high school? and does the TVAC conference have their own set of rules that are different then the TMSAA? We are hearing different stories and i have not been able to find out the truth. We hear that TVAC schools will not allow players to play in club ball and school ball at the same time. That hurts the girls but ok we have to fallow the rules HOWEVER in Hamilton County girls CAN play both at the same time. Now we all know (all of us who have been around the local clubs that is) that the clubs have played in tournaments useing girls who play on thier middle school teams (exceptions to some TVAC girls that i do know about) for as long as its been around. and this year is no different as there is a local tournament set for later this month. Year in and year out we see the same girls both at school games and in weekend club tournaments. Because of this we have been lead to believe that it is a different rule. So what is the truth? are they different rules?

Hi.

Here is how it's been in the past. If the school is TSSAA then during the player's school VB season they can practice with their club, but not compete with their club. Before their school season begins and then after their school season is over they can compete with club. That has been very clear and our club never violated that, not sure about other clubs.

 

If the school is not TSSAA then my memory is not clear, seems like some yrs they played club, some they did not. I believe one non-TSSAA league had a league rule about not competing in club during their school season. You'd have to go to the league administrators for that one. But, the key factor is whether or not that league is under TSSAA jurisdiction.

 

good luck

Let me also add, if I may, that TMSAA is middle school and many, MANY schools do not participate through the TMSAA. Our middle school is in Wilson County (Middle Tennessee) and although we have had a volleyball program for as long as memory serves, we have never participated through TMSAA but rather formed our own WCVA (Wilson County Vb Assoc).

 

Things are a bit different when dealing with middle schools, they don't all automatically fall under the TMSAA like High Schools do with the TSSAA.

Thank you both for getting back to me. I do believe that we now have the right answer for our girls. The misunderstanding was for the girls last year who did play both club AND middle school volleyball at the same time were NOT in either 8th grade and or on the varsity. The rule turns out that an 8th grader can NOT be on a 8th grade varsity and also play club ball. a 7th grader who is J-V can do both. now that is a stupid rule but it is the rule. So last year the girls who did both were only in 7th grade and on the JV team. Now these same girls are 8th grade so they are knocked out. I HATE how this kills just the 8th grade girls. But we have to fallow rules. Now we need to try and find some club tournaments in March and April to cover for the 4 we lose while middle school is going on.

      They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that.

      The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.

      I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.

      An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.

      All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
