Texas Association of Basketball Coaches

     Due to the TAKS test the board of directors has moved the TABC spring clinic to Friday, Saturday and Sunday, May 2, 3 & 4. This allows us to keep the same weekend between the regional and state track meets, but allow those involved in TAKS testing to attend the entire clinic. The schedule is posted below and is very similar to the old schedule, but will start Friday instead of Thursday. The all-star banquet will be held on Friday and the games on Saturday. Speakers will make presentations all three days starting Friday evening and vendors will open their booths on Friday and Saturday. The golf tournament will be held Friday morning. We will list speakers as they are confirmed.
