The Texas Association of Independent Athletic Organizations (TAIAO) was formed in 2013 by a group of like-minded Six-Man football coaches that for various reasons did not “fit” in with existing football or athletic leagues in Texas.  For our first year we had 8 members.  In 2014 we expanded to 19 teams, separating in to two divisions so smaller organizations would not be at a competitive disadvantage.  We have continued to see positive growth in the organization and continually work best meet the needs of our members. 

We offer Six Man Football, Girls and Boys Basketball, Volleyball. Baseball, Golf, Soccer, Cross Country, Track and Field, and are continuing to add sports as we grow.

We feel we have a great offering for all types of organizations, Private Schools, Charter Schools, Home School Organizations and Public Schools.  We currently have organizations in all of the major metropolitan areas of Texas:  Houston, Dallas Metroplex, Austin, San Antonio, El Paso,  as well as many areas in between.

We believe that we have the start of something that will continue to grow and to last.  The organization is ‘run by the members’ with nobody’s input being ignored.  The leadership and member organizations commit to always remember that it is “about the kids”, and do everything we can to keep the adults out of the equation.
