Baseball Frequently Asked Questions

+ Show All Answers

What happens when a game official is mistreated (extreme verbal abuse, touched, hit, etc.) by a player, coach, or fan?
Notification to the UIL office shall occur immediately. Schools must follow-up with a written report. The State Executive Committee has jurisdiction and sets penalties in cases of this nature. Each case will be thoroughly reviewed by this committee and League officials. Schools are asked to submit a report regarding their follow up actions to eliminate any future incidents.
May an academically ineligible student be a manager?
Ineligible students cannot ride with a team, sit with them, nor wear their uniforms during a performance or contest by the standards of no-pass no-play. Students who assist the sponsor or coach, but don't participate in the performance or contestÑsuch as student managers or scorekeepersÑmust meet the academic eligibility requirements that the participants must meet.
May students participate in non-school activities?
Students may participate in non-school activities at anytime. This means that a student may play, practice or participate in a try-out for non-school teams.
Does the UIL athletic amateur rule apply to non-school participation for students in grades 9-12?
Yes. Athletes must comply with the athletic amateur rule throughout the year, including all non-school participation. The penalty for violation of the amateur rule is forfeiture of eligibility in the sport in which the violation occurred for one year from the date of the violation.

May school district personnel coach non-school teams?
Baseball, Basketball, Football, Soccer, Softball, Volleyball or Water Polo Teams: A 7-12 grade coach may not coach a non-school team on which 7-12 grade players from his attendance zone are involved. School coaches and personnel should make every effort to insure that student athletes realize that participation is strictly voluntary and never required. Participation on non-school teams shall not be a prerequisite for trying out for a school team. Coaches may inform students of leagues, but may not determine which students play on a team. School owned individual player equipment (shoes, uniforms, etc.) shall not be used in non-school competition.

May 7-12 grade coaches be involved with a camp for students below the seventh grade?
Yes. UIL restrictions do not govern camps, clinics, etc. for students below the 7th grade. Local school district policy governs these activities.
May girls play on boys' baseball teams?
Yes. Girls may tryout for, and if selected, participate on junior high and/or high school baseball teams; however, girls shall not participate in both baseball and girls' softball at the same time.
How many games may a baseball team play in a week?
