The Texas Tech UIL Staff and Executive Committee for
Region 1 - 5A schools extend to all member schools, administrators, coaches,
contestants, and guests our most sincere welcome to Lubbock and Texas Tech
University.
Through the combined efforts of various contest
directors, Texas Tech University and the University Interscholastic League strive
to make each year’s regional meet one of quality and efficiency for the
participants involved by supporting the following:
Statement of
Purpose
The University Interscholastic League believes:
That most students enjoy the pursuit of excellence and
seek opportunities to test themselves against their own accomplishments and
those of their peers,
That such opportunities are best provided through
properly conducted and equitably administered competitive activities,
That the classroom is enriched by the flow of the student
energy into the more intensified arena of competition and back into the
classroom.
Therefore,
we affirm that students are the focus to our endeavor and deserve an opportunity
to:
 |
refine physical and mental aptitudes, |
|
nurture self-realization and build self-confidence, |
|
feel a sense of pride and dignity, |
|
experience teamwork and develop a sense of fair play, |
|
develop the ability to lead and the willingness to follow, |
|
foster self-discipline and perseverance, |
|
appreciate that rules, consistently applied, create order and
discipline, |
|
learn to accept graciously the decisions of judges and officials, |
|
affirm self-worth in times of disappointment as well as adulation, |
|
cultivate lifetime skills, |
|
complement their class work with practice and performance, |
|
have fun, |
|
experience the joy of achieving their potential in a wholesome
environment, |
|
discover that ultimately the true meaning of winning is doing
one’s best.
