Athletic Uniforms and Summer Practice/Team Sign Up
Welcome from the Athletic Director
Athletic Uniforms
For our athletes, practice gear is not provided. The expectation is that all of our athletes wear will be TMI gear for both practices and contests. If you would like to purchase TMI gear for the upcoming school year, you may do so at the TMI Spirit Store located in the hallway of the Frost Athletic Center or via the Under Armour Team Store (link to be sent in early summer). Team competition uniforms will be issued to the players by the Athletic Department prior to their first game/match. These uniforms must be returned at the end of each season.
TMI will provide a locker room with full facilities (shower, toilet, lockers, changing areas, etc.) for the entire upper school student body. Locks will not be provided, but are mandatory for students wishing to store any items, both TMI and/or personal, in their locker.
If you have any questions regarding athletics, please contact one of our Athletic Department staff members:

Go Panthers!
Girls Volleyball
Hello Panthers! This email is intended for all girls entering into 9-12th grade at TMI who are interested in playing volleyball in the upcoming 2023 fall season. Please read the following carefully on IMPORTANT DATES AND INFORMATION.
Our summer sessions will run a bit different than they have in the past. Instead of "open gyms", we will be holding instruction and skill development in a camp-style format for two weeks in July. These sessions will run from July 10-13 and July 17-20, at 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Thursday. If you are planning to play volleyball this coming fall, it is highly encouraged that you attend one or both sessions.
JULY 31st is the first day of the regular season and is mandatory for all prospective players.
We will run a 3-day tryout to assess skills and place players on appropriate teams. If you are not in attendance on July 31st, do not expect to make a team. Also, if you were on the JV or Varsity team last year, that does not mean that you have a spot for this coming season.
We are so excited to grow our program and continue on our path of becoming more competitive. We expect each player to show up with a great attitude, willingness to learn, and ready to give 100% each day. The best way to ensure that you perform at your highest ability at tryouts is to attend the summer sessions, train with your club programs, and continue to build your skills.
July 31st - August 2nd: Tryouts 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
August 3rd - 4th: Practice 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
August 7th - 16th Practice 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
When school starts on August 17th, our normal practice times will be 4:00 p.m.- 6:30 p.m.
Any player that makes varsity should be prepared to leave for Austin for a 3-day Westwood tournament that runs on August 10th - 12th. This tournament will have fees for hotels so please plan accordingly. We may invite a couple of select JV players to attend as well for the added experience.

Dear TMI XC,
Currently, we have voluntary practice over the summer. The more running we do in the summer, the better we will be in the fall.
Cross Country Summer Running (optional)
Start: June 6th - July 22nd (M, W, F)
Time: 7:30 a.m. - 9:30 a.m.
Location: TMI track
Fall workouts begin on July 31st, from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., Monday through Friday. Attendance is mandatory.
I am looking forward to having a great season this year. I have attached a running program and log below which will be used on the days that we are not meeting, and for those who will not be able to attend practice over the summer. These forms will help you track your workouts. Not everyone will have the same running program and it is dependent on what will help you in the long run.
Finally, if you are talking to one of your friends who is interested in XC and they have not received XC emails, have them email me at e.martinez@tmi-sa.org. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me via email and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Thank you,
Coach Eddy

Once school classes begin on August 17th, typical Upper School athletic practices will occur from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday-Friday with the occasional Saturday. For sports which span a school holiday such as Thanksgiving break, Christmas break, or spring break, those practice sessions will be communicated by the head coach of each sport. For reference, the starting dates for the winter and spring seasons are as follows:
