Testimonials
"Our student athletes learn so much from high quality coaches who are able to inspire our students, build the character of our students, and coach them to compete at high levels. The Athletic Excellence funding from Elevate allows the TCS to competitively compensate our talented coaches so that our students can have the best. Our students deserve the best and this helps make that happen. "

The impact of the City of Tuscaloosa Athletic Excellence Fund will allow TCS to compete for and provide high quality coaches and instruction for our student-athletes. Also, it allows us to show appreciation for our current district coaches for their hard work and dedication in preparing our student-athletes for their individual sports, as well as the most important game of all, the game of life."
