Pine Tree UIL Inv A Jar of Dirt

2026 — Longview, TX/US

Hello and thank you for considering our spring UIL Invitation A tournament for your team. Pine Tree HS has hosted the UIL Invitation A tournament for more than 30 years. Today, we take pride in continuing a tradition of running a smooth contest that follows the UIL rules and procedures so that coaches and competitors feel prepared for their district, region, and state meets. Our contest directors are experienced coaches or assistants, most having assisted in district and state meets. Our number one concern is to provide your students with opportunities that make them more confident and grow as competitors. We also work hard to feed you well and get you home on time or early. We offer two Sweepstakes divisions, TMSCA grade-level medals in addition to UIL medals, 1st and 2nd place team medals, and 1st place team plaques. If you have any questions, please check out our tournament information website
