    The Tennessee Middle School Athletic Association (TMSAA) will be 17 years old this year.

    A middle school organization under the umbrella of the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association, the TMSAA was formed in 1993 after the TSSAA was requested to begin governing the athletics of middle schools across the state.
