The University Interscholastic League was created by The University of Texas at Austin to provide leadership and guidance to public school debate and athletic teachers. Since 1910 the UIL has grown into the largest inter- school organization of its kind in the world. The UIL continues to operate as part of the University of Texas, under the auspices of the Vice President for Diversity & Community Engagement. The UIL exists to provide educational extracurricular academic, athletic, and music contests. The initials UIL have come to represent quality educational competition administered by school people on an equitable basis. http://www.uiltexas.org/about

What is the cost to enter UIL? Joining the University Interscholastic League Public elementary, middle and junior high schools obtain membership at no cost through their parent high schools. Schools must indicate their intent to participate in UIL academic activities by registering with UIL by Nov. 15. For elementary and junior high schools in districts having no member high schools, contact the UIL office for membership information.
We can form our own DISTRICT meet We can form our own DISTRICT meet! FORM A DIFFERENT DISTRICT For whatever reasons, usually involving travel distance, scheduling or number of schools participating, some elementary, middle and junior high schools elect to form their own UIL A+ district. This A+ district can cross conference boundaries and school district boundaries. It only takes three interested schools to form a district. The only restriction on forming a UIL A+ district is that all the schools in the district must agree on which schools are in the district. It’s up to the principals and campus-level UIL coordinators to contact other schools and to hold the planning meeting.
