AUSTIN — The University Interscholastic League (UIL) extended its suspension of all UIL sanctioned activities due to the outbreak of COVID-19 in Texas. All contests, practices, rehearsals and workouts will remain suspended until further notice.
At this time, the earliest games and contests may resume is Monday, May 4. Prior to this date, the UIL will allow its member schools a reasonable acclimatization period for rehearsals and practices to occur. All decisions remain flexible and will be consistent with the advice of local, state and federal officials.
“We are working diligently on contingency plans to conduct state championships in each of the activities that have been suspended,” said UIL Executive Director Dr. Charles Breithaupt. “While the immediate future is unclear, we are committed to providing these much-desired activities to all Texas students and will prepare for all possible outcomes, including extended school closures.”
The UIL will continue to provide timely, ongoing updates and is reassessing this ever-changing situation daily. Please continue to check the UIL website and social media accounts for further updates.
Interim Athletic Director Jacob Campsey said, the coaching staff at RHS is communicating with many athletes via phone calls and social media.
“Everyone is safe and doing well from what I know,” he said. “Our athletes are tweeting videos and sending videos of themselves working out which is really great to see.
“The biggest thing I’ve tried to push out to our athletes is the importance of being a great family member in this time,” Campsey said. “Now is the time to practice what we preach in athletics and be an asset at home–clean, cook, and do chores. Helping school siblings and continuing their education are my top two priorities for them while they are at home. We sure do miss them.”
