President’s Message
Dear TABC Members,
We are closing in on the end of our school year. Recently, we wrapped up our nominations and awards after finalizing the 2022-2023 basketball seasons, and now we are beginning our preparations for our clinic in San Antonio May 18-20. Congratulations to all that received awards! The TABC is growing, and we remain committed to continuing to provide more opportunities for our members and the players, whom our members represent. TABC is excited for our upcoming events and hope you all benefit. We have the TABC Clinic, TABC Camp of Champs and TABC Showcases in the next few months. Our clinic is considered one of the best in the nation and we would love for you to attend. What a great way to grow professionally and learn from some of the best coaches in the game. We have more information regarding the clinic, camps and showcases at www.tabchoops.org Click on Clinics, then TABC clinic to view the tentative schedule.
What an exciting time for our coaches this summer as we host both girls and boys Showcases. Such a great event to showcase the talent we have across the state of Texas. TABC is honored to continue to work hand in hand with the NCAA, NFHS, and the UIL to provide sanctioned events for our high school players and high school coaches to participate in.

As coaches we are very thankful for this opportunity to be allowed to coach our teams at the event. Be sure to follow your governing body’s rules concerning entry fees, lodging, meals, transportation, uniforms and booster club restrictions. Rules may vary from the UIL, TAPPS and SPC on some issues.
In hoops regards,
