What is VAC?

Club Sports at Brentwood Middle School currently include Swimming, Lacrosse and Rugby. Why are these called "Club Sports"? Any sport that is not "sanctioned" by WMAA (Williamson Middle Athletic Association) can not be a Brentwood Middle School sport. In order for BMS to field teams for non-sanctioned sports, the sport is called a Club Sport and must operate separately from BMS, meaning that the sport can not utilize BMS facilities for practices or games and must secure their own coaching staff. Athletic funds given to BMS by Williamson County Schools can only be used for sports that are WMAA sanctioned sports. A sanctioned sport must operate under the WMAA Constitution and By-Laws. Despite not being sanctioned, the BMS club CAN use BMS and the BMS Viking logo in the sport/club name such as BMS swimming or Viking swimming.

The Viking Athletic Club is happy to provide any communication for the club on the website such as contact person, tryout and schedule information, and other club-related information. The coaches of the club need to provide the VAC webmaster that information, and it will be posted on the VAC website www.bmssports.com.
Please direct any questions regarding club sports and their role at BMS to our 6th Grade Guidance Counselor, Scott Hamende scotth1@wcs.edu, who is the designated point person for BMS Club Sports, or to our Assistant Principal, Brandon Barkley brandonb@wcs.edu, who currently oversees all BMS athletics.
