Again, this spring has offered up a challenge to beat the rain.
The SCIAA requests that all coaches of soccer, baseball, softball and tennis turn in updated schedules complete with scores. We are missing many scores and many reschedule dates for rained out games. Without these dates and results we cannot provide season updates for the SCIAA Championships.
High School Soccer Coaches should report an updated schedule complete with reschedule dates for rained-out matches and scores to Marcus Taylor at taylormj@scsk12.org.
Middle School Soccer Coaches should report an up to date schedule with reschedule dates for all rained-out matches and scores to Mark Herrington at MHerrin11@aol.com.
High School Baseball and Softball Coaches should report an updated schedule complete with reschedule dates and scores to Lecia Schluterman at schlutermanl@scsk12.org.
Middle School Baseball and Softball Coaches should report an updated schedule complete with reschedule dates and scores to Lou Stackley at alstackley@peoplepc.com.
Reminder that it is the home team’s responsibility to secure fields and umpires before reporting rescheduled games or matches.
High School Tennis Coaches should report all scores to Kelli Arena at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TMGQW7H.

In April 2013, Tennessee became the 44th state to pass a sports concussion law designed to reduce youth sports concussions and increase awareness of traumatic brain injury. The legislation has three key components:
- To inform and educate coaches, youth athletes and their parents and require them to sign a concussion information form before competing.
- To require removal of a youth athlete who appears to have suffered a concussion from play or practice at the time of the suspected concussion.
- To require a youth athlete to be cleared by a licensed health care professional before returning to play or practice.
Both public and private school sports and recreational leagues for children under age 18 that require a fee are affected by the new law. The law covers all sports. The law took effect January 1st. See http://health.state.tn.us/TBI/concussion.htm
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury that changes the way the brain normally works. Most concussions occur without loss of consciousness. Athletes who have, at any point in their lives, had a concussion have an increased risk for another concussion. Young children and teens are more likely to get a concussion and take longer to recover than adults. The new concussion law is an opportunity to make playing sports safer for Tennessee’s young athletes.
Additional Information for Shelby County School athletic programs can be found under Certified Athletic Trainer Services via Athletic Health Services.

On February 28, 2013, the Memphis Interscholastic Athletic Association hosted their first High School Baseball Pitchers’ Clinic. With the assistance of local colleges and universities, twenty-six Student-Athletes learned drills that would improve their game fundamentally and competitively. Christian Brother’s University generously opened their facilities to the high school pitchers, giving them a glimpse of their possible athletic futures. The participating Baseball programs were Christian Brother’s University, Lemoyne-Owen College, and the University of Memphis. Thanks to all the Participants and Coaches for making this clinic a success.
