The Tennessee Academic Coaches Association or TACA is the semi-official coaches' association coordinating quizbowl in Tennessee.

In previous years, TACA's website served as a center for competitions across the state, with active competitions from West TN to the Tri-Cities area in the far Northeast and several regional liaisons. Now, TACA's membership mostly consists of Nashville area schools, with a few from East TN, and its function as a tournament clearinghouse has been largely subsumed by the quizbowl forums and NAQT's website.

TACA still sanctions the use of bad quizbowl practices like worksheets and single-elimination playoffs at its events, though it does appear to favor pyramidal questions.
