When you attend a UIL CCP seminar onsite, you must get your badge scanned at the door by a THSCA staff member to receive credit. We will use these scanned lists at the end of the convention to relay that credit to the UIL. Please allow 7-10 days after the convention for this to update in your UIL Portal account on RankOne. You will need to make sure you have added your THSCA ID number in your UIL Portal Account. Your THSCA ID number will be printed on your convention badge.

Certificates will be emailed to you after the convention, the last week in July, so you will have them in hand by August 1st. Only those that attend IN PERSON in Houston, will receive an emailed certificate for continuing education hours.

We will record most lecture content from the convention and post it on CoachTube, more information about access to lecture replays will be sent out September 1 to paid attendees.

Tackle training 1.0 and 2.0 must be completed through the ATAVUS website at www.atavus.com/texas
