As we begin the basketball season, it is important to keep in mind UIL rules for live streaming basketball games as it pertains to individual social media accounts. According to UIL rules, any event or contest, athletic or academic, cannot be live-streamed unless it is done through a school’s own social media account and all schools involved provide consent to do so. This rule prohibits any parent, student, community member, faculty, staff or sponsor to broadcast live from any entity of social media or internet streaming including but not limited to Facebook Live, Instagram Live, YouTube, Twitter. Live streaming through an individual account is in direct violation of the UIL Rules and their agreement with their broadcast partners. Therefore, Chireno ISD requests all spectators of events adhere to these rules. Violation of UIL rules could result in forfeiture of an event or sanctions placed on the team and eliminate all the hard work, effort, and accomplishments our students have worked so hard to obtain. Please also be aware that contest venues and opposing school districts may prevent parents from filming athletic or academic contests for personal use as per UIL rules.
