TGCA Basketball Nomination Instructions and Guidelines


Coaches should do all nominations on-line on the TGCA website. Coaches may request forms be e-mailed or faxed.

November 1st is the last date for basketball coaches to become a member of the TGCA and be eligible to nominate athletes for basketball honors. The head varsity coach of any athlete or support staff receiving an award must be a member in good standing by the membership nomination deadline. This also applies to Athlete of the Year, Coach of the Year, and All-Star Coach honors.

Monday noon before the state tournament is the on-line nomination deadline for the following nominations: All-Star, Legacy All-Star, All-State, Academic All-State, Athlete of the Year, All-Star Coaches and Coach of the Year.

All nomination forms must be sent to TGCA by submitting on-line at www.austintgca.com, mailing to TGCA, P.O. Box 2137, Austin, TX, 78768, or submitting to regional representatives for submission to the Committee if the on-line deadline has passed.

All-Star Nomination Guidelines:

1. All-Stars MUST BE INCOMING SENIORS.

2. Coaches may nominate as many players as desired.

3. Two athletes from the same school may be named to one All-Star Team. Clarification: The Basketball Committee will have the option of selecting two athletes from one school, and one school only per All-Star team on a yearly basis.

4. All-Stars will be selected in two divisions: 1A-2A-3A-4A and 5A-6A.

5. Basketball All-Stars may not be Cheerleading, Volleyball, Cross Country, Track & Field or Softball All-Stars.

6. IMPORTANT: Prior to nomination of an athlete, coaches must confirm that nominee, if selected, can be present for the All-Star orientation and will attend all practices. Players unable to commit to this policy should not be nominated. The All-Star position is a great honor and players should be aware prior to nomination that they are committed to follow policies of the Texas Girls Coaches Association.

7. All-Stars may be nominated by any member in good standing of the Texas Girls Coaches Association. For an individual to be selected to an All-Star team, the head coach must be a member in good standing. The current head coach must be contacted for approval of the player being selected as an All-Star.

RED/BLUE ALL-STAR SECTIONS: The state is divided into Red and Blue sections for determining the All-Star teams. Refer to your TGCA REGION -- NOT UIL -- to determine which section you are in.
