The TSSAA Network will stream LIVE coverage of Girls’ and Boys’ Track & Field meets, Baseball Championships, and Soccer Championships. All events can be accessed via the TSSAANetwork.com video portal. The events will also be rebroadcast in the weeks following the LIVE coverage of events across the entire state on the seven Tennessee Public Television Council stations. “The BlueCross Spring Fling is a celebration of athletic achievement and a fitting end to a great year,” said Bernard Childress, Executive Director for TSSAA. “We are proud to have the events broadcast LIVE on www.TSSAAnetwork.com for families and fans of the student athletes that are not able to make it to the events.” The TSSAA Network is a partnership between the TSSAA and PlayON!
