NEW GUIDELINES FOR PHYSICALS

Due to Covid-19 the UIL has made some changes to the requirements for pre-participation physicals. 

 Every student participant must complete a medical history form.  

Students with medical concerns in their medical history will need a physical. 

Students that have not previously participated in UIL activities will need a new physical for the upcoming school year.  

Students with a clear medical history and already have a physical on file from the previous year are cleared to play.
