Chattanooga will host the TSSAA High School Tennis Championship for girls and boys from May 12 to 15 2026.

The event arrives as Hamilton County Schools push forward with expanded athletics options that include the new interscholastic girls flag football league launched in partnership with the Tennessee Titans.

Local Programs Prepare for Dual Seasons

East Ridge High School and Chattanooga School for the Liberal Arts rank among the 11 schools starting the flag football league that began in Winter 2024 and will grow through Fall 2026. Brainerd High School co-ops with Chattanooga Charter School of Excellence on football baseball and softball while the charter runs separate teams in volleyball basketball wrestling soccer and cross country. Chattanooga Christian School fields 12 competitive sports with half its students taking part. McCallie offers 17 varsity sports and Notre Dame High School has collected state and regional titles.

East Hamilton Howard and Soddy Daisy join Brainerd and East Ridge as participants in the Titans-backed flag football push that now covers East Tennessee.

Event Dates and Participation Numbers Shape Outlook

The May 12-15 2026 dates for the tennis championship place Chattanooga at the center of a regional high school tournament that draws competitors from across the state. The 50 percent student participation rate at Chattanooga Christian School and the 17 varsity offerings at McCallie illustrate the scale of local programs feeding into both the tennis event and the flag football expansion.

Schools will continue adding flag football squads through the fall while the tennis championship remains the next fixed date on the TSSAA calendar for local teams to target.
