MNPS generally doesn't provide sporting opportunities for students before grade 6. (They have started fall cross-country and spring soccer for grades 4 and 5.)
So it's up to us parents to figure any and all of this out. If you are a parent who coaches any sport in any league and want to find more Eakin students for your team email [email protected].
If your Eakin student wants help finding schoolmates to play on their team in any sport in any league, email [email protected].
Basketball Fall and Winter (WNSL):
If your child wants to play on an Eakin team in the West Nashville Sports League in either fall and or winter email [email protected]. Please provide the following: Student Name, Student Grade, Do you want to coach, interest in Fall session, Winter session, or both. It's best to have team rosters, coaching, and practice times arranged before registering. The PTO has reserved time on the Hilary Strickland Court (Eakin Gymnasium) for practice already. Team parents/coaches will be cooperating to schedule practice times this year.
Late Fall Basketball Registration closed Games from 10/28 through 12/9 |
Winter Basketball Registration now until 12/1 Games from 1/6 through 2/24 |
This league is affordable and there’s financial assistance available.
Below is a table of where we're at. I will update it as information comes to me.
