Athletic Directors:
The past three years TAPPS has sponsored a Showcase for our member schools participating in Lacrosse. The goal was to provide an opportunity for TAPPS schools to compete with teams they might not schedule on an annual basis and to showcase the sport for our member schools. TAPPS recognizes the THSLL and TGHSLL provide the main structure for the sport for both public and private schools. The TAPPS event is a break in the normal schedule. TAPPS also recognizes these organizations continue to push for recognition in the UIL which if achieved could potentially limit opportunities for our member schools.
This year TAPPS will not be hosting a showcase for the 2024-25 school year as we reassess the long term viability of the event by reviewing all aspects of the competition. These factors include date, location, tournament format, school (team) participation, and overall financial health of the event. The cost structure of the activity, mainly facility rental and officials, creates at least one large hurdle to overcome.
As we continue our review process, please feel free to contact the TAPPS office to share your thoughts and opportunities for the sport. You can contact our office at [email protected] or by phone at 254-947-9268.
For the Board,
Bryan Bunselmeyer
Executive Director
