The Texas Track & Field Coaches Association (TTFCA) has been formed in an effort to provide a voice to the outstanding track & field coaches, officials, athletes, and fans in the great state of Texas. Track & Field, incredibly popular as evidenced by the sheer number of participants at all levels, deserves an organization to garner visibility for the incredible feats performed by athletes from the state of Texas.

TTFCA teams up with My Sports Dreams to help teams raise thousands for travel and equipment
If your TX track and field team could use extra money this season, check
out www.MySportsDreams.com/ttfca. Their program is ridiculously easy,
there's nothing for your athletes to sell, and you'll be done in less than 30
minutes. A typical track team earns $4,000 profit, and there's nothing due
upfront or any financial risk. They've worked with hundreds of high school
and college teams from Texas, so definitely inquire if you're short on funds.
You can also call their Track Director, Ryan Kievit at 800-376-5988 x315 or
Ryan33@MySportsDreams.com and he'll send you all the details.
