CENTRAL TEXAS FALL UPDATES
Campus Schedules
2016/07/15 - Central Texas Volleyball Updates
- Please review all volleyball schedules - we will be finalizing these early next week. ATX MS D3 and ATX 9th-10th Grade Girls(all districts) will be given 48 hours in addition to the articulated deadline below.
- Less than 1% of games were changed(7 out of 700+ for the entire region, not incl. additions) and so these latest updates should not require extensive review. Please assess all information and if there are any concerns, please communicate them before Tuesday(7/19) at 5pm by virtue of our Conflict Form.
- ATX MS D3 did not complete in the volition we had intended and articulated with the previous update. Please feel free to call for further details but essentially this schedule is fine but will now incur non-district supplements to the season as opposed to our preferred approach. These games should now be assembled and ready for review and approval.
- This also had implications on 9th-10th ATX Non-District matchups and scheduling. This primarily resulted in clarity regarding additional non-district game(s) for teams in need.
- RRSC Addresses imported when appropriate(apologies and thanks for catching these!)
- Updated Team Notations....
- KIPP: Aspire; 6th-8th Grade Heads is now KIPP: Aspire; 6th-8th Grade Gold
- KIPP: Aspire; 6th-8th Grade Tails is now KIPP: Aspire; 6th-8th Grade Royal
- KIPP: Camino; 6th-8th Grade Sun is now KIPP: Camino; 6th-8th Grade Carolina
- KIPP: Camino; 6th-8th Grade Moon is now KIPP: Camino; 6th-8th Grade Navy
- KIPP: University Prep/KIPP: U Prep has been normalized and made-consistent(apologies!) and a number of campus names have been cleaned up
- THERE ARE NO FLAG FOOTBALL UPDATES HERE - STAY TUNED
2016/07/08 - Central Texas Schedule & Playoff Updates
- ATTENTION ALL CENTRAL TEXAS SCHOOLS - IT IS CRITICAL THAT THE CHALLENGES AND ISSUES SPECIFIC TO THE CENTRAL TEXAS REGION IS PROPERLY REPRESENTED AT THE COACHES CONFERENCE. WE CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH THAT AS THE LARGEST REGION IN THE STATE WE NEED PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION, AT THE VERY MINIMUM. IF YOU HAVE NOT SIGNED UP FOR THE COACHES CONFERENCE AS OF YET, PLEASE CLICK AND DO SO NOW. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND, PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL ARTICULATING THE CONFLICT AND PLEASE SUGGEST SOME ALTERNATE REPRESENTATIVES FROM YOUR CAMPUS THAT CAN ATTEND IN YOUR PLACE. POLICY VOTES, REPRESENTATION CHANGES, AND NEW INITIATIVES WILL ALL TAKE PLACE IN CONCERT WITH ATTENDEES.
- CENTRAL TEXAS PRINCIPALS: If ANY of your coaches have not yet completed their biannual HB 2038 Concussion Training to ensure compliance for 2016-17 we will need you to communicate that to us NOW (email us at [email protected]) along with a timeline and the respective CSCS you are working with if your coach is planning to complete this training in a session separate from our Conference.
- IMPORTANT! Campus views below(in the 'Campus' column should now query all activities, thereby including both flag football and volleyball games. The 'Team' column will still query games unique to that team. IF ANY OF YOUR LINKS ARE NOT WORKING - GIVE ME A CALL! ANYTIME THIS WEEKEND! We tested most but please call either me personally or the main line over the weekend if you're experiencing any complications.
- VOLLEYBALL. At least one additional non-district round for volleyball schedules has been added for all teams. We do still have some unfilled gaps with ATX MSD2 primarily but we will be adding Austin Discovery School to this district schedule over the course of the next week. These games (2 per team) will be released and scheduled in an email string separate from region-wide blasts and other area-specific updates. We apologize for some of the delays here but are confident the teams and district will be better served by a formal opponent rather than non-district supplements to the schedule.
- VOLLEYBALL. Upon the completion of this inclusion, the final non-district games for volleyball teams will then fall into place, also taking place over the course of next week.
- VOLLEYBALL. See revised schedules below. Communicate any conflicts that resulted from the last revisions by virtue of a Conflict Form before the end of the day on Monday, July 11th(5:00 p.m.). Final Schedules will be published later in the week barring variables discussed herein or unforeseen revisions. We cannot accept schedule change requests through email.
- VOLLEYBALL. STOP! Look at all start times for your games. If there is a "TBD" listed, it could be due to any of the following. Please take a look below and proceed as advised
- IF the AWAY team is traveling distances <50 miles, we are requesting that the AWAY team articulate both ideal and viable start times for the respective dates and times.
- IF the AWAY team is traveling distances <50 miles AND the location is TBD, please stand by as we will make progress on this soon(<5 games).
- IF you are the HOME team and you have indicated on your registration form that TCSAAL should procure home facilities for you, please review all of your other HOME games.
- IF any of your other HOME games are complete with locations and times, please simply stand-by for updates as we are in the last stretches of a number of facility contracts that may enable us to confirm these specifics early next week.
- If NONE of your HOME games are complete with locations and times, it is because you have indicated on the Registration Form that you will be responsible for securing your home facility and you have failed to communicate progress in this regard. The scheduling process has provided campuses ample time to begin negotiation and securing these contracts as necessary - we will begin reviewing campuses' progress starting on Monday and will begin reserving gyms for those campuses that are struggling.
- VOLLEYBALL. Austin-Area addresses have been added - please confirm yours is correct!
- VOLLEYBALL. KIPP: Camino & KIPP: Aspire have submitted team notations but I have not included them in this update. We will not have a separate release for these so please watch for the following team identifier names to be replaced with more appropriate ones:
- KIPP: Aspire Heads is now KIPP: Aspire Gold
- KIPP: Aspire Tails is now KIPP: Aspire Royal
- FLAG FOOTBALL. See initial schedule release below. Schedules should be consistent with volleyball albeit a number of locations are still undetermined as we're looking at more facility options for the upcoming year.
- FLAG FOOTBALL. Please make sure you review the email blast from today - this includes a list of all flag football email recipients; Please ensure that all of the appropriate contacts are on this list!
- FLAG FOOTBALL. Please review all dates and times - Each team will need to complete and submit a Conflict Form in order to adjust any information in the schedule. We cannot accept schedule requests through email. The deadline for these submissions is the end of the day Wednesday, July 13th(5:00 p.m.)
- AUSTIN AREA CAMPUSES! ATTENTION! HUGE PLAYOFF UPDATES FOR YOUR COMMUNITIES!
- 2016-17 Austin-Area Playoff Initiative
This update is to notify Central Texas regional campuses of a revamped playoff format for the 2016-17 school year. Having absorbed years of suggestions from our Austin-Area member schools, we are pleased to offer a revised playoff format for the upcoming school year that will effectively curb significant costs from Austin-Area schools' travel budget when compared to the previous model.
Austin and San Antonio playoff teams will participate in sub-regional tournaments (terminology likely to change). The winner of the sub-regional tournaments will advance to the regional championship games, where like in the past the winner of the regional will advance to state.
The top 2 teams from each division will still advance to the playoffs. The difference is Austin and san Antonio will conduct sub-regional tournaments and then send their top team to play a Regional Championship game in San Antonio. Cutting down on the need for most Austin teams to travel.
TCSAAL reserves the right to change the format in unique situations.

- HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
central texas schedule release (2016.07.08)
2016/06/30 - Central Texas Volleyball Schedule Updates
- Notice your schedule is formatted differently from our last release - We now have a "Team" column adjacent to the "Campus" column that helps to clarify and provide notation for mixed-grouping non-district match-ups! This should also help significantly with campuses fielding multiple teams in a specific grouping, especially for any sanctioned non-district games.
- Most opponent TBD's and non-district games have been assigned - we held off on completing these for any/all teams for a number of reasons but any teams with less than 8 district games should now have non-district games to supplement their schedule or, in some cases, an additional district opponent amended to their schedule.
- We have replaced most "Location" placeholders with actual addresses for those we know - we are still some distance from being able to print and distribute to parents but feel free to utilize this for logistics planning and transportation. If you notice a "TBD" in the location column for your home game, it is because we either have not received your location information or we are unaware that we are expected to book a site for these dates(usually a miscommunication on the registration form). Please email me ASAP and let me know how you'd like to move forward with your respective home locations.
- We are still missing accurate team notations for multiple campuses - If your campus has multiple teams in a respective grouping(most easily identified by quantifiers you did not clarify for me directly, i.e. "MSG San Marcos Charter School Vertical and "MSG San Marcus Charter School Horizontal"). We will need your campus to submit official notations for these teams by virtue of our Conflict Form.
- Prior to the end of the day Tuesday, July 7th(5:00 p.m.), we will need any campus with new conflicts resulting from changes due to added or manipulated games to submit a new Conflict Form. In our ongoing efforts towards achieving a smoother, more fluid scheduling process, we remind you not to utilize this form to submit new conflicts that were, for whatever reason, not articulated within your last Conflict Form. Any conflicts not resulting from our latest revisions will be charged rescheduling fees consistent with TCSAAL Handbook and will depend on the immediate approval of your opponent and as well your campus and team's willingness and flexibility to work within their respective scheduling restrictions. The majority of our teams did not have a single change to their district schedule and beyond time adjustments and non-district amendments, many campuses' district schedules have not changed since the initial release on 6/20.
- In addition to this, please remember that we cannot accept schedule change requests through email - any schedule change requests will need to be submitted by virtue of the Schedule Conflict Form.
- Lastly, we are proud to confirm that the final day of our Fall Regional Volleyball tournament this year will culminate at the state-of-the-art Antioch Sports Complex in San Antonio, Texas; Home of the WNBA's San Antonio Silver Stars and host of a pretty epic tournament we heard about last January. Please be sure to visit the gym if you are in the area and while only the final teams will advance to our last day of the tournament, please try to bring your community out in some capacity to show support for your Regional Champions and wish them luck on their path to the State Final Four!
