UIL Announces 2020-2021 School Year Sports Calendar

This week, the University Interscholastic League released modifications to the 2020-21 UIL calendar and updated COVID-19 risk mitigation guidelines that will take effect August 1, 2020.

Schools in highly populated areas—primarily conferences 5A and 6A—will be provided a delayed schedule, while conferences 1A-4A will have the opportunity to start their seasons on time. Local flexibility is allowed, and districts are encouraged to plan for possible interruptions throughout the season. Alvin ISD is in conference 6A.

As school districts decide at the local level when to begin the school year, these guidelines allow for schools to make decisions on these programs at the local level as well. UIL will work with schools directly that have scheduling issues not addressed in this plan.

Spectators can attend games and contests with a 50% venue capacity limitation.
