Metro Nashville Public Schools is rich in the tradition of athletics that reaches far beyond the football and basketball games that are so easily associated with school spirit.
What many do not know is that the season of spring offers 7 varieties of team sports for students to participate including Boys and Girls Tennis, Boys and Girls Track & Field; Baseball, Softball, and Boys Soccer.
Often if a spectator times it right, he or she can visit a school and move from event to event taking in Track, Soccer, Softball, Baseball, and Tennis all in one day!
