Proposal to sanction middle‑school soccer tabled pending representative
Summary
The Athletic Committee discussed a proposal to make Campbell County Middle School soccer a TMSAA‑sanctioned sport and tabled the item until June 26 so a representative could attend and answer questions about insurance and logistics.
At a June 10 Athletic Committee meeting, Board member Brandon Johnson read an email from Chris Enix proposing that the Campbell County United Soccer program become a sanctioned school sport under the LaFollette Middle School athletic department, with a co‑op option to allow Jacksboro Middle School students to participate.
Johnson read the proposal into the record and noted that, if approved, operations would fall under the LMS Athletic Department and would require compliance with TMSAA eligibility and coaching requirements. Committee members asked about insurance and safety; Johnson stated his understanding that there would be no additional insurance cost under the district umbrella, while Board member Lisa Fields asked for confirmation. The committee tabled the item until June 26 so a representative could attend and answer outstanding questions.
The committee took no final action and requested a representative from the club program or athletic department be present at the next meeting to address eligibility, insurance and administrative issues before forwarding any recommendation to the full board.
