Summary  of  Findings  
Dragon  Football  Program  Review  
Submitted  by  Carroll  ISD  to  the  University  Interscholastic  League  on  February  14,  2018  
 
This  communication  is  provided  to  the  University  Interscholastic  League  (UIL)  by  Carroll  Independent  
School  District  (CISD)  in  follow  up  to  telephone  conversations  between  Carroll  ISD  and  the  UIL.    More  
specifically,  Dr.  David  Faltys,  Superintendent  of  Schools,  spoke  with  the  Deputy  Director  of  UIL  on  
January  22,  2018,  January  26,  2018,  and  February  7,  2018.    In  addition,  there  was  a  phone  call  between  
CISD  Director  of  Athletics  Darren  Allman  and  the  Executive  Director  of  the  UIL  on  January  22,  2018.  Mr.  
Allman  also  spoke  with  the  UIL  Director  of  Athletics  on  the  same  date.  During  these  phone  
conversations,  Dr.  Faltys  and  Mr.  Allman  shared  CISD’s  verbal  report  with  UIL  regarding  the  District’s    
review  of  the  Dragon  Football  Program.    The  initial  conversations  were  to  self-­‐report  possible  UIL  rule  
violations,  and  in  the  final  conversation  between  Dr.  Faltys  and  the  Deputy  Director  of  UIL,  CISD’s  actual  
findings  were  reviewed  and  discussed.  This  communication  will  provide  a  written  summary  of  findings  
related  to  CISD’s  review  of  the  Dragon  Football  Program.    More  specifically,  this  communication  will  
provide  a  written  report  of  possible  UIL  rule  infractions  which  have  come  to  CISD’s  attention,  along  with  
the  corrective  action  taken  by  the  District  to  address  those  concerns.    The  relevant  background  leading  
to  this  Summary  of  Findings  is  set  forth  below.  
 
A  copy  of  this  report  is  being  provided  to  the  UIL  state  office  as  requested  by  the  Deputy  Director.    CISD  
is  also  sending  this  report  to    the  5-­‐6A  District  Executive  Committee.  The  district  stands  ready  to  work  
with  the  UIL  to  acknowledge  any  and  all  violations  and/or  to  better  understand  clarifications  that  will  
help  ensure  compliance  going  forward.  
 
I.    UIL  Constitution  and  Contest  Rules.    Chapter  2.  Subchapter  C.  High  School  Athletic  Plan.  Section  
1209  (c)  –  FOOTBALL  CAMPS  WHERE  SCHOOL  PERSONNEL  WORK  WITH  THEIR  OWN  STUDENTS  
“After  the  last  day  of  the  school  year  in  May,  June,  July  and  prior  to  the  second  Monday  in  August,  on  
non-­‐school  days,  all  students  other  than  students  who  will  be  in  their  second,  third  and  fourth  year  of  
high  school  may  attend  one  camp  in  each  team  sport,  held  within  the  boundaries  of  their  school  
district,  in  which  instruction  is  given  in  that  team  sport,  and  in  which  a  7th-­‐12th  grade  coach  from  their  
school  district  attendance  zone  works  with  them....”  
 
Finding:  CISD  found  several  problems  with  camp  operations:    
1)  the  head  coach  held  two  summer  team  camps  in  football  within  the  boundaries  of  the  school  district;    
2)  students  in  the  same  grade  levels  were  solicited  to  attend  and  attended  both  summer  camps;  and  
3)  a  sixth-­‐grade  football  camp  for  CISD  students  was  held  at  Carroll  Sr.  High  School  on  dates  in  which  the  
UIL  prohibits  camps  from  being  held  (evenings  in  March/April),  and  instruction  was  given  by  Carroll  
football  coaches  who  were  paid  to  conduct  the  camp.

Creating an environment that fosters excellence. . .

√ Excellence √ Relationships √ Character & Integrity √ Innovation √ Open & Honest Communication √ Compassionate Service
Background:  Camps  in  Carroll  ISD  are  owned  by  coaches  who  rent  school  facilities  and  pay  CISD  a  facility  
use  fee  in  an  amount  equal  to  10%  of  the  total  camp  registration  revenues  per  CISD  policy.  Over  the  past  
two  years,  CISD  has  had  an  increase  in  educational  and  sports  camps,  requiring  assistance  from  athletic  
coordinators  to  manage  facility  rental  and  camp  approvals.  In  addition,  new  checks  and  balances  were  
put  in  place  by  the  Administration  to  help  ensure  adherence  to  policies  addressing  camps  and  facility  
usage.  In  reviewing  paperwork  submitted  for  educational  and  sports  camps,  CISD  became  aware  that  
two  separate  camps  for  football  were  held  in  2017,  both  of  which  included  solicitations  to  all  incoming  
1st  through  6th  graders.  One  camp  was  June  5-­‐7,  2017  and  the  other  was  held  August  7-­‐9,  2017.  Although  
named  differently,  the  camp  descriptions  were  identical,  targeted  the  same  kids  and  were  coached  by  
Carroll  football  coaches.    The  head  coach  received  revenue  from  both  camps,  and  there  were  CISD  
students,  grades  1-­‐6,  who  attended  both  camps.    Furthermore,  Carroll  varsity  football  coaches  went  on  
to  solicit  CISD  students  by  offering  multiple  position  specific  skills  camps  from  June  12-­‐28,  2017.    Camp  
fliers  were  approved  by  an  athletics  coordinator  handling  facility  rental.  They  were  approved  for  
communication  by  the  Board  &  Community  Relations  Department  only  after  receiving  the  facility  rental  
approval.  Coaches,  however,  are  responsible  for  compliance  with  UIL  rules.  Our  corrective  action  
involves  additional  training  and  checks  and  balances  that  should  help  resolve  any  confusion  related  to  
coach-­‐owned  camps  that  might  also  be  in  conflict  with  the  intent  of  the  UIL  rules.  
 
In  addition,  through  the  course  of  CISD’s  review,  the  Administration  became  aware  that  varsity  coaches  
were  also  involved  in  facilitating  a  March/April  transition  camp  for  sixth  graders  (Dragon  6th  Grade  
Football  Transition  Camp)  that  was  held  during  a  prohibited  time  of  the  year    and  included  instruction  by  
CISD  coaches  for  CISD  students.    Students  were  charged  $250  registration  for  the  camp  conducted  by  
Carroll  coaches  on  Monday  and  Wednesday  nights.  Facility  use  in  this  case  did  not  go  through  the  Carroll  
ISD  Athletic  Office  and  rental  fees  were  not  paid  to  CISD  per  district  policy;  the  transition  camp  for  sixth  
graders  was  not  approved  by  the  athletic  program.  Upon  further  investigation,  it  came  to  our  attention  
that  this  transition  camp  has  been  held  at  least  since  2014.    It  was  described  to  us  as  a  Dragon  Youth  
Football  (DYF)  camp  but  two  officers  of  DYF  confirmed  it  is  not  a  DYF  camp  nor  does  the  camp  revenue  
go  to  DYF,  they  merely  help  communicate  the  camp.      
 
Corrective  Action:  
•   CISD  will  refine  current  camp  procedures  to  ensure  that  coaches  only  have  one  team  camp  in  
CISD  per  grade  level  per  sport  and  only  at  times  in  which  the  UIL  allows.  
•   All  camp  requests  will  require  approval  by  the  Athletic  Director  for  UIL  compliance  before  being  
approved  by  staff  for  facility  use/rental  and  communications.    
•   The  Athletic  Director  will  conduct  an  annual  audit  of  all  camps  to  ensure  UIL  rule  compliance.    
•   If  a  sport  schedules  more  than  one  team  camp,  then  it  must  involve  different  age  groups  up  to  a  
maximum  of  two  team  camps.  
•   Camps  provided  by  local  sports  organizations  must  go  through  the  proper  facility  rental  
procedures  and  cannot  put  CISD  coaches  at  risk  of  violating  UIL  rules.  
•   CISD  will  provide  education  for  players,  parents,  coaches  and  staff  on  UIL  rules  and  guidelines  
pertaining  to  their  sport  through  required  pre-­‐participation  paperwork.  Annual  training  with  
coaches  and  other  appropriate  personnel  will  continue  to  be  conducted.  Procedures  will  include  
a  focus  specifically  on  non-­‐school  and  off-­‐season  UIL  rules  and  regulations.  
•   Compliance  with  UIL  camp  rules  will  be  addressed  as  a  personnel  matter  with  appropriate  
coaching  staff.

II.  UIL  Constitution  and  Contest  Rules.    Chapter  2.  Subchapter  C.  Section  1209  (f)  (1)  -­‐  OFF-­‐SEASON  
PARTICIPATION  IN  NON-­‐SCHOOL  TEAM  SPORTS  
 
“School  coaches  shall  not  coach  7-­‐12  grade  students  from  their  own  attendance  zone  on  a  non-­‐school  
team  or  in  a  non-­‐school  camp  or  clinic,  with  the  exception  of  their  own  adopted  or  birth  children.”  
 
Finding:    CISD  confirmed  that  Carroll  football  coaches  held  camps  in  our  attendance  zone  that  included  
high  school  students  who  play  on  Carroll  Dragon  teams.  The  camps  were  held  June  12-­‐28,  2017.  
 
Background:    Carroll  coaches  often  described  their  role  as  camp  directors  or  facilitators  which  was  
interpreted  as  “prohibited”  in  the  UIL  Constitution  and  Contest  Rules  during  CISD’s  review.    We  also  
found  that  some  coaches  were  involved  in  instructing  CISD  students.  This  was  confirmed  by  parents  and  
athletes  in  the  program  as  well  as  former  CISD  coaches.  In  other  cases,  CISD  coaches  were  instructing  
non-­‐CISD  athletes  in  close  proximity  to  CISD  athletes  who  were  being  instructed  by  non-­‐CISD  coaches;  in  
other  words  in  the  same  facility  where  athletes  can  be  directed  or  overhear  direction  by  their  high  
school  coaches.    The  Administration  believes  this  gives  the  impression  of  compliance,  but  at  best,  is  
cause  for  concern.  While  CISD  has  received  varied  interpretations  from  UIL  staff  regarding  this  rule,  
based  on  guidance  provided  in  the  UIL’s  Non-­‐School  Participation  Regulations  publication,  under  Section  
II,  Team  Sports,  CISD  understands  that  this  is  prohibited.  This  was  the  first  year  CISD  required  rosters  for  
camps  in  an  attempt  to  maintain  more  accurate  records  to  collect  the  10%  compensation  to  the  district  
for  use  of  the  fields.    A  review  of  the  rosters  revealed  participation  by  CISD  student  athletes  in  grades  9-­‐
12.    The  participation  by  high  school  students  in  these  camps  was  only  found  to  be  happening  in  the  
football  program  and  not  in  other  team  sport  camps.  
 
Corrective  Action:  
•   CISD  will  annually  educate  all  coaches  on  the  specific  rules  pertaining  to  camp  participation  by  
student  athletes.  
•   The  Athletic  Director  will  ensure  that  coaches  in  the  high  school  program  are  not  instructing  
their  own  athletes  at  camps.  
•   Compliance  with  UIL  rules  related  to  student  athlete  attendance  will  be  addressed  as  a  
personnel  matter  with  appropriate  coaching  staff.  
 
III.   UIL  Constitution  and  Contest  Rules.    Chapter  2.  Subchapter  C.  Section  1206  (f)  -­‐  
OFF-­‐SEASON  SCHOOL  TEAM  PRACTICES  PROHIBITED      
 
“School  teams  shall  not  practice  outside  the  specific  allowable  practices  dates  except  during  the  one  
in-­‐school  day  practice  period.  Off-­‐season  activities  before  or  after  the  school  day  or  during  the  lunch  
periods  are  specifically  prohibited.  This  does  not  prevent  students  from  using  school-­‐issued  shoes  
and/or  clothing  before  or  after  school;  however,  participation  before  or  after  school  shall  be  strictly  
voluntary  and  not  required,  and  coaches  shall  not  instruct  students  in  any  manner.”  
 
 
Finding:  Carroll  football  coaches  instructed  athletes  in  football  specific  drills  outside  of  the  school  day  
during  the  off-­‐season.

These  early  morning  workouts  were  confirmed  through  interviews  with  CISD  staff,  students  and  parents  
of  current  and  former  student  athletes.    
 
Corrective  Action:  
•   CISD  will  annually  educate  all  coaches  and  athletes  on  this  specific  rule  when  reviewing  UIL  rules  
and  guidelines.  
•   The  head  coach  will  report  to  the  Athletic  Director  on  procedures  put  in  place  to  ensure  that  all  
non-­‐school  and  off-­‐season  rules  and  guidelines  are  being  followed.  
•   Compliance  with  UIL  rules  related  to  off-­‐season  and  summer  practices  will  be  addressed  as  a  
personnel  matter  with  the  appropriate  coaching  staff.  
 
 
IV.   UIL  Constitution  and  Contest  Rules.    Chapter  2.  Subchapter  C.  Section  1206  (j).  DAY  OF  GAME  
RESTRICTION  
 
“Participation  in  an  off-­‐season  program  shall  not  be  required  for  varsity  athletes  on  the  day  of  an  in-­‐
season  varsity  competition  or  for  non-­‐varsity  athletes  on  the  day  of  an  in-­‐season  non-­‐varsity  
competition.”  
 
Finding:    Parents  of  student  athletes  and  coaches  of  other  CISD  sports  reported  that  football  sub-­‐varsity  
athletes  were  required  to  go  through  off-­‐season  workouts  on  days  in  which  they  competed  in  a  contest  
later  in  the  day.  
 
There  are  statements  taken  from  current  CISD  coaches  and  parent  confirmation  that  off-­‐season  
workouts  were  required  of  students  on  competition  day.    
 
Corrective  Action:  
•   CISD  will  annually  educate  all  CISD  coaches  on  the  specifics  of  this  rule  when  reviewing  UIL  rules  
&  guidelines.  
•   The  Athletic  Director  will  work  with  head  coaches  to  create  a  communications  plan  for  dual-­‐
sport  athletes  as  it  pertains  to  off-­‐season  workouts  on  game  days  in  other  sports.  
•   Compliance  with  UIL  rules  related  to  off-­‐season  and  summer  practices  will  be  addressed  as  a  
personnel  matter  with  appropriate  coaching  staff.  
 
V.   UIL  Constitution  and  Contest  Rules.    Chapter  2.  Subchapter  C.  Section  1202  (a).  (1):  
EMPLOYMENT  OF  COACHES  -­‐  Full-­‐Time  Employees  
 
“A  school  is  not  eligible  for  UIL  competition  in  an  athletic  activity  unless  the  head  coach  and  
assistant  high  school  coaches  are  full-­‐time  employees  of  the  school  board  of  the  school  which  the  
team  represents.  Full-­‐Time  Defined:  Full-­‐time  means  that  the  person  is  under  contract  to  the  
school  board  of  the  school  which  the  athletic  team  represents  for  the  whole  scholastic  or  calendar  
year,  and  the  person  has  enough  contractual  duties  to  be  considered  a  full-­‐time  employee  of  the  
Teacher  Retirement  System  and  state  law.”  
 

Creating an environment that fosters excellence. . .

√ Excellence √ Relationships √ Character & Integrity √ Innovation √ Open & Honest Communication √ Compassionate Service
 “The  UIL  requires  any  person  coaching  student-­‐athletes  at  the  high  school  level  to  be  a  full-­‐time  
employee  of  the  district.  Exceptions  will  sometimes  be  approved  through  the  proper  paperwork  
and  approvals,  but  only  when  schools  are  replacing  staffs,  and  don’t  have  sufficient  supervision.”  
 
Additional  Interpretation  received  via  email  from  Mark  Cousins,  UIL,  June  2017:  
If  a  coach  is  still  under  contract  with  another  school  district,  the  coach  cannot  instruct  student-­‐
athletes  at  the  future  place  of  employment,  unless  the  district  in  which  the  coach  is  leaving  gives  
formal  written  notice  to  the  future  employer  that  the  coach  has  permission  to  work  in  their  district  
while  still  under  contract  in  the  current  district.    This  statement  must  also  confirm  that  the  coach  will  
not  be  offered  a  contract  in  the  current  district  for  the  following  school  year,  and  it  must  include  
confirmation  that  the  coach  will  not  be  neglecting  any  duties  under  the  current  district’s  contract  
during  the  time  spent  working  at  the  future  district.  In  addition,  the  coach  must  have  received  formal  
notice  of  a  contract  offer  for  the  following  school  year  from  the  future  employer.  These  documents  
should  be  on  file  with  both  districts  and  the  District  Executive  Committee  Chairperson  prior  to  the  
coach  performing  any  instructional  duties  with  student  athletes  in  the  future  district.  
 
Finding:  CISD’s  head  football  coach  allowed  coaches  who  were  officially  under  contract  with  another  
school  district  but  were  recommended  for  hire  in  CISD  for  the  2017-­‐2018  school  year  to  work  with  
Carroll  student-­‐athletes  during  spring  football  2017  without  the  required  paperwork  by  both  districts.  At  
the  time  of  the  violation,  the  coaches  were  not  officially  under  contract  with  CISD  per  board  policy  and  
UIL  rules.  There  are  multiple  individuals  who  witnessed  actual  coaching.  The  coaches  were  wearing  
Dragon  gear  and  instructing  students  on  the  field  while  still  under  contract  with  other  school  districts.  In  
turn,  permission  to  allow  those  coaches  to  coach  CISD  students  prior  to  beginning  employment  with  
CISD  had  been  requested  by  the  CISD  head  coach  and  was  denied  on  two  occasions  by  the  CISD  Director  
of  Athletics;  however,  the  coaches  were  allowed  by  the  CISD  head  coach  to  continue  instructing  CISD  
students  during  spring  workouts.  
 
Corrective  Action:  
•   CISD  will  continue  its  practice  of  denying  requests  for  coaches  to  participate  in  instructing  
student  athletes  before  they  are  officially  under  contract  with  CISD  unless  the  appropriate  
paperwork  and  permissions  are  in  place  per  UIL  rules.  
•   Compliance  with  UIL  rules  related  to  the  start  date  for  new  coaches  will  be  addressed  as  a  
personnel  matter  with  the  appropriate  coaching  staff.  
 
Summary  
Carroll  ISD  accepts  responsibility  for  the  findings  in  this  report  and  either  has  put  procedures  in  place  to  
prevent  the  situations  described  above  from  happening  again  or  will  have  procedures  in  place  before  
the  start  of  the  summer  camps  season  and  the  2018  football  season  to  address  UIL  rules  with  all  head  
coaches.  While  the  oversight  of  the  athletic  program  falls  directly  under  the  supervision  of  the  Athletic  
Director,  the  responsibility  of  adherence  to  UIL  rules  falls  primarily  on  the  head  coach  of  each  sport.    If  
any  of  the  above  mentioned  findings  are  not  rule  violations,  CISD  seeks  clarification  from  the  UIL  to  help  
ensure  a  better  understanding  of  expectations.  
 
With  a  commitment  to  our  core  values,  the  issues  identified  in  our  review  will  be  addressed  in  staff  
training  meetings  and  individual  performance  reviews,  as  well  as  communicated  to  our  coaches,  parents

SubJect: Rule question
Dâb: Friday, September 01, 2017 2:57t22PM

Hi Mark.
I'm needing to get conf¡rmation on a few rules regarding camps. I've heard different
interpretations and want to be clear.

Canfootball have e camp in June for incoming grades 1-6, then have another camp in
August for incoming grades 1-9?
It's my understanding that Coaches are allowed to have one Team Camp per age
group and
one specialty camp per age group.

lf football has a team camp, can they also have a QB/Receiver Camp, an O-Line/D-Llne
Camp, and a Linebacker/Defensive Back Camp?
It's my understanding that Coaches are allowed to have one Team Camp per age
group and
one specialty camp per age group.

lf coaches at School A are coachlng these specialty camps, can high school kids that
attend SchoolA attend under any circumstances?
It's my understanding that no high school players are not allowed to attend camps that
their
high school coaches are working, even if not direstly coached by one of their school
coaches.

lf coaches at School A are coaching these specialty camps, can high school klds that
attend SchoolA help workthe camps?
It's my understanding that high school athletes cannot work at a camp if coaches from
their
own school are also working the camp.

Can Coaches run camps at any time during the school year for grades 1-6?
It's my understanding that it is a violation for coaches to hold football camps for any
grade levelduring the schoolyear.

Any assistance is appreciated. I want to be sure I'm interpreting things correctly.

Hope you have a great long weekend!

Mark,

Can a coach who is under contract with another district serve as a football coach during
spr¡ng training in his future place of employment? I realize that local policy will apply as
well, but is there a UIL rule violation if the coach is not a full-time employee of the district
and will not be under contract with them untilthe fall? Thanks for your help.

Coach Allman -
Thank you for your inquiry conceming UIL rules.

UIL rules require all soaches at the high school level to be full time employees ofthe school district. In situations
where new staffs have been hired, but will not begin employment until the following school year, a coach could
participate in spring training with the new school under t¡e following conditions:

The coach in question has signed a contract or letter of intent with the new school;

The current employer of the coach provides a letter of release indicating the coach will not be employed in their
district next year; and

The coach does not miss any assigned duties at the school where they are currently employed.

If you have other questions or need additional information, please contact me.
