In June, UIL executive director Charles Breithaupt told assembled superintendents at the organization's legislative council that off-season competitions such as 7-on-7 football bringing the attention of street agents was of "great concern."
The UIL formed a subcommittee to study the possibility of allowing coaches from all sports more freedom in coaching offseason activities.
On Sunday, the subcommittee's early findings should be revealed as the UIL legislative council will meet again.
Off-season coaching promises to be a hot topic. Former Allen coach Tom Westerberg, now a Mont Belvieu Barber's Hill, is scheduled to speak during the open forum, asking the UIL to create a pilot program to allow high school coaches to coach their own athletes during 7 on 7 competition.
A proposed rule change will allow coaches of all team sports more freedom if it were to pass. It would allow coaches to transport students (currently banned) and allow the coach to be the primary director of non-school competiton.
While coaching would not be allowed, the coach assist with the selection of coaches and and the selection of players.
A number of other proposals will also be discussed. Among them:
-Removing the pilot status from home-field advantage in the first round of the 6A football playoffs and extending it to 5A.
-Higher-seed homefield advantage for the 6A baseball playoffs and possibly below
-A proposal to add water UIL sanctioned sport.
