As coaches we are responsible for the behavior of our athletes.
Preseason meetings are required for all sports. Parent or
Guardian must attend before an athlete is allowed to
participate.
Positive behavior is expected from our fans- paying to get into
a game does not give them a right to be negative.
A positive relationship between coaches and officials is always
important. Please think twice before you react in a negative
manner.
Any coach who is ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct, or a
Football coach who is given 2 or more 15-yard unsportsmanlike
penalties during a contest, is required to appear before the
State Executive Committee at the coaches expense.
Schools must notify UIL within 3 school days if a coach has
been ejected or received two 15 yard unsportsmanlike
penalties.

Basketball & Football

game or scrimmage may be played per
