BE NICE...UNTIL IT'S TIME TO NOT BE NICE
TGCA CERTIFICATE OF SENIOR ACHIEVEMENT
The Texas Girls Coaches Association, along with our coaches and their athletes, were devastated when our schools were forced to close for the rest of the 2019-20 school year due to COVID-19. This action resulted in the elimination of the spring sports' seasons. TGCA is offering a template online for our coaches to be able to print a Certificate of Senior Achievement for all senior athletes and senior support staff members that were unable to finish their seasons. We feel this is a way TGCA and our coaches can show our appreciation and recognition for these very deserving individuals. The certificate template can be found at this link:
http://www.austintgca.com/pdf/Cert_of_Senior_Achievement.pdf
It is in an editable PDF format, so that you can fill in the athlete's name, the school and the sport. This is for you to print and distribute, if you wish, to your senior athletes in these spring sports.
ACADEMIC ALL-STATE NOMINATIONS
Effective IMMEDIATELY TGCA will no longer accept Academic All-State nominations with GPAs that have not been converted from a point scale (4.0) grade to a numerical scale only (94 or above). Staff cannot do the conversion and any nomination received with a point scale GPA will not be processed and will be sent back to the nominating coach for conversion to a numerical only GPA.
