Superintendents,

TXSAT offers:

• Free. Fair. Certified Student Athlete Testing.

• Open access for all athletes, all sports, all campuses

• Zero burden on districts (no staffing, equipment, or logistics required)

• UIL‑aligned protocols

• District‑level equity and accountability support

Your district is invited to the Texas Statewide Athletic Directors Summit, where we will present the 2026 TXSAT Standards, certification protocols, and statewide implementation roadmap.

What TXSAT Is

TXSAT is a statewide certified testing system designed to ensure every Texas student athlete — regardless of district size, funding, or geography — receives access to standardized, high‑quality performance evaluation.

TXSAT supports:

• Athlete development

• District equity

• Campus consistency

• UIL‑aligned data

• Program accountability

• Multi‑sport comparability

TXSAT is not a campus‑level program.

It is a district‑level standard.

The Takeaways

• We offer Free. Fair. Certified Student Athlete Testing.

• TXSAT is open to all middle school and high school athletes in Texas — every sport, every campus.

• We require no venue, staffing, equipment, or logistical support from districts. Zero burden on schools or teams.

Why Superintendents Care 

Superintendents gain:

• Equity: Every athlete receives the same certified evaluation.

• Consistency: Data is uniform across campuses and feeder patterns.

• Accountability: District‑level reporting supports program oversight.

• Opportunity: Athletes gain certified metrics recognized statewide.

• Zero Cost: TXSAT is free for districts and families.

• Zero Burden: TXSAT handles all logistics, staffing, and equipment.

This is a district‑strengthening initiative, not a campus add‑on.
