2023/2024 UIL Update: “The UIL calendar is set based on multiple parameters, mostly working around state standardized testing dates and avoiding conflicts with other UIL events. UIL attempts to also look at other activities, but as you know, the multitude of offerings for students continues to grow and the spring calendar continues to get more crowded. They have a date range of one week that districts can set their UIL district meet dates. This year it is April 1-6 for most academic events and April 1-13 for speech events. Each district can set the UIL date for their meet within that window based on the recommendations from coaches with the administrators on the UIL District Executive Committee having final say. They limit the competition window to one week due to test confidentiality, as well as require students competing against one another to test at the same time and location. The best option is for teachers who do both UIL and Skills USA to make the conflict known so that their UIL district contest can be set earlier in the week by their DEC, if at all possible.”
