AUSTIN, TX‹ The following is a statement issued by the UIL regarding the
procedures for UIL activities affected by Hurricane Ike:
With the approach of Hurricane Ike, the University Interscholastic League
has received many inquiries regarding schedules for UIL activities,
specifically volleyball and football.
Volleyball
For schools in areas impacted by evacuation relating to Hurricane Ike, the
UIL and the Texas Education Agency will allow an exception to the school
week limit in volleyball for varsity district matches only. As such, varsity
district matches may be played as an exception to the school week limit this
week, prior to cancellation, rather than after.
This means schools that play volleyball matches Tuesday (today), will be
allowed an exception to play a varsity district volleyball match Wednesday
or Thursday of this week.
This exception does not apply to any non-district matches, or to any
sub-varsity or junior high matches.
If there is no school on Friday, any matches would be allowed on Thursday
after school and no exception would be needed.
Football
For varsity football games impacted by evacuation resulting from Hurricane
Ike, UIL will offer an exception to the five-day rule between games for
varsity games only.
For a varsity football game impacted by evacuation in relation to Hurricane
Ike, the varsity game could be played with as little as four days between
contests, rather than five.
This exception does not apply to any sub-varsity or junior high games.
It is expected that exceptions to both the school week limitation and the
calendar week limitation will be extended after the hurricane has passed.
The extent of those exceptions will be determined and communicated once the
impact of the storm is assessed.
