UIL Officials Needed For This Spring Season

 


We are in dire need of UIL (University Interscholastic League) officials to work this spring tennis season.  Basically these are all the high school tennis tournaments around the state--and there are a lot of them!

You may be asking what is required to be a UIL official...   All that is required is that you are a USTA certified official and that is a very doable certification.   You can check out the requirements for USTA certification on the right hand side of this page.  

Once a person is USTA certified they can begin to work UIL events.    There is no specific requirement for being UIL certified other than your USTA certification.   If you are interested in working these spring tournaments all you need to do is contact me and we can get you started...

The spring season basically consists of the high schools' district tournaments which are held over a two day period and are like all other tennis tournaments.   The pay is exceptionally good and here it is:

Pay Scale:  $34/hour with an 8 hour minimum pay each day plus meals and mileage if the tournament is outside the Metroplex.  

My contact information is listed above so if you are interested in working this spring, contact me as soon as possible and we can get you going...

A special sidelight is that if you do UIL and like it and want to progress to ITA officiating it is an easy transition and we can help with you the requirements and the training!

Calling all interested parties... We have a place for you!


 

If you are interested in becoming a UIL tennis official or an ITA official, you have come to the right place!  We are in desperate need of more officials in these two areas and joining up is fun and fairly simple.   

 If you are on this site and are a prospective tennis official, the steps are very simple.   Simply go to the right hand side of this page and click on the sites that deal with becoming an official.   There is information about how to become a USTA official and also an ITA official.  

One of the biggest areas of officiating these days is UIL (high school) tennis officiating.   Its very similiar to ITA but way more fun...   Plus, it pays extremely well.   If you are interested in this, you must become a USTA official but that is the only requirement.  In the spring, we staff over 50 tournaments and in the fall we staff over 150 dual matches so you can see there are opportunities for everyone...

The only requirement to work UIL events is that you are USTA certified.  The requirements for ITA are that you are USTA certified and then pass the exams for an ITA official.   There are literally hundreds of ITA dual matches in the Metroplex that need officials so come on our and join us!

If all this doesn't make sense, just give me a call at 214 796 7402 and I'll walk you through it.   We would love to have you on our officiating team and in our officiating family...
