UIL rules on practice time

UIL practice time is 8 hours a week of after school practice time. Schools get around this by having an official athletic period during the day for their sport. My son's school has a baseball class, which is their last class of the day. Football team also has a football class. It does not count towards the 8 hour limit.

When I was in HS the Texas UIL ruled that it was illegal to attend any kind of sports instructional camp - even outside of the school year. The penalty was loss of HS athletic eligibility. So that is the mindset of a moronic organization that is more out of touch with the athletics that that they govern than the NCAA - if that’s possible.

100% agree with this. I made the same statement to a co-worker yesterday when we were discussing high school sports.

Adbono,

I assume that the rules have changed a little, as there are multiple College Baseball camps, during the summer. At least , I sure hope its changed, as I signed my son up for one at Texas State, and plan on trying to attend the Texas A&M camp in August.

Yes, the rules have changed. I was in HS a long time ago. Of the camps that you mentioned I would endorse the Texas State camp over the Texas A&M camp - and I played at A&M. Texas State has a great coaching staff and they actually do recruit from their camps to some extent.

Adbono,

Thanks again for your knowledge and your willing to share!  I would expect nothing less from an Aggie! I myself graduated from there in '83 - Gig 'em!!!!
