Benefits of Being a THSCA Member:

 

Being a member of the THSCA, gives coaches access to the people, events, tools and resources to help them thrive in the profession, become trusted leaders in their communities, and live balanced and successful lives. 
 
Our programs are designed to give every coach in every sport a voice, help them grow personally and professionally, give them the tools to navigate the real world issues student-athletes face, build a coalition of support in their communities, celebrate their successes and empower them to have a lasting impact on high school athletics. 
 
The work and sacrifice coaches do every day is vital to the development and success of student-athletes. The THSCA is here to support those efforts. We fight for every coach, provide them with the connections and resources to make their lives better and help all student athletes throughout the state enjoy lasting success.
