Teams and Competitions

NEW! Updated 9/9/2025

Get access to the Member Area and the Portal

Coaches and co-Coaches are welcome in the Portal. All Coach and co-Coaches must be over 18 years old.

WHEN: After your school membership is active for the current year.

Do you already have an account from last year? If yes, go here using your email address and reset your password. This is a required step due to a system upgrade in the summer of 2025.

If you are new or the system does not recognize your email, create a new account. Be sure to select the correct Texas region AND the county that your school is in.

Once you have an active account, let your OM coordinator know. They will add you to the membership, if it is already active. The whole process may take a couple days due to internal workflows.

a) Bookmark the Members-Area for long-term problem, forms and all materials:

b) Bookmark the Portal for team and competition related database:
