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 prior to the State Basketball Tournament is the deadline for on-line nominations for: All-Star; Legacy All-Star; All-State; Academic All-State; Athlete of the Year; All-Star Coaches; and Coaches of the Year.

 

All nomination forms must be submitted to TGCA on-line at www.austintgca.com; mailing to the TGCA office at P.O. Box 2137, Austin, TX, 78768, or presenting to a regional representative for submission to the Committee at the Committee meeting after the on-line nomination deadline has passed.

 

 

          ALL-STAR NOMINATION GUIDELINES:

 

            1.  All-Stars must be INCOMING SENIORS.

            2.  Coaches may nominate as many players as desired. Athletes may be nominated by

                 any member coach 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.

            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

                 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.
