the bylaws on the TGCA website, or request forms to be mailed.
November 1 is the last
date for volleyball coaches to become a member of the TGCA and be eligible to
nominate athletes for volleyball 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.

All nomination forms must be sent to TGCA by submitting online or mailed to
TGCA,
All nominations received after the Committee meeting will be invalid, except
Academic All-State nominations. The deadline will be rigidly enforced.
All-Star
Nomination Guidelines:
1. All-Stars
MUST BE INCOMING SENIORS.
2. Athletes may be nominated by any member coach in good standing of the TGCA. 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. Member coaches in good standing may nominate as many players from any school as they desire.
3. Two athletes from the same school can be named
to an All-Star team. Clarification: The
Volleyball 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. 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.
All-State
Nomination Guidelines:
1. All-State players are NOT required to be SENIORS.
2. Coaches may submit an unlimited number of nominations for
athletes they feel are deserving of this award.
