Dear TABC Members,
I hope everyone’s school year has gotten off to a great start and everyone is back into a good routine! Our Board of Directors met recently in San Antonio, and we have a great group of leaders who are eager to both serve and lead this great organization.

This year our organization will be creating a ‘Players to Watch’ list that will be published through social media in late October. Information on how to nominate your players will be released in the coming weeks so be sure to like and follow us on social media.

Don’t forget to encourage all the coaches at your school to join TABC. Things are only going to get busier so take advantage now and get everyone signed up before the dues go up on November 1st.

Remember to take advantage of our TABC video clinics. We have accumulated a great variety of short videos from many of our outstanding coaches across the state. You can access these through our website by clicking on the Video Library link.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Brent Gaylor, TABC President
