Association History:

The Texas Girls Coaches Association is one of the largest associations of coaches, and the largest association for coaches of girls' athletics in the United States.

Established in 1953 with a membership of less than 100, it has grown to an excess of 5,000 members today and includes coaches and administrators in all levels of education.

The governing body -- officers, directors, committee chairs -- are member coaches elected by TGCA members. The TGCA is sanctioned by the Texas University Interscholastic League although it is not a part of the UIL.

The annual summer clinic sponsored by the TGCA is well-known throughout the United States and attracts nationally recognized volleyball, basketball, track & field and softball clinicians. In conjunction with the clinic, two volleyball, basketball and softball all-stars games are played featuring 144 of the most outstanding senior athletes in Texas. In addition 32 cross-country and track & field athletes are honored. The clinic and all-star games attract approximately 8,000 coaches, their families, and fans of girls' volleyball, basketball, cross-country, track & field and softball from Texas and surrounding states.
