Texas Private Schools Football Championships Private schools are barred from participation in the University Interscholastic League (UIL), which was made up of public schools exclusively until 2003 when and Strake Jesuit of Houston were admitted. The two schools, which had been part of the TCIL (see following) until 2000, were forced into independent status when the TCIL ceased operations and TAPPS, made up of mostly smaller schools, would not allow admittance to their league because of the large size of the two schools. The UIL in 2003 altered its provisions for membership for private schools with several stipulations, including that a private school must not qualify for membership in organizations similar to the UIL, thereby allowing for the admission of the and Strake Jesuit only. TCIL/TAPPS Gary Kubiak, head coach of the NFL Houston Texans, is one of the athletes to come out of the football programs of Texas private and parochial schools. Kubiak was quarterback for Houston St. Pius 1975 1978. He went on to play for Texas A&M and in the NFL. Photo by Brit (CC). TCIL: Texas Christian Interscholastic League The TCIL was organized as the Texas Catholic Interscholastic League in 1935 when St. Mary s University in San Antonio was asked to sponsor a boys s basketball tournament for private Catholic schools. Other boys sports have been added thorugh the years, and girls competition was initiated in 1971. The name of the organization was changed to Texas Christian Interscholastic League in 1976 when non- Catholic schools joined. In 1999-2000, the TCIL ceased to exist and most schools joined the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS).
