🚨 NO PASS. NO SIDELINE. 🚨
For the 2026 season, WFISD Athletics will be enforcing this much more strictly and consistently.
EVERYONE on the sidelines must have and wear a current, approved 2026-issued sideline pass at all times, with the exception of official team and game personnel, including coaches, players, athletic trainers and authorized team support staff.
This includes:
• Professional media
• Student media
• Team photographers
• Booster club tunnel crews
• Photographers and videographers
• Anyone representing a team, booster club or organization
Being affiliated with a team, school, booster club or media outlet does NOT automatically provide sideline access. No approved pass = no sideline access before, during or after the game.
📰 PROFESSIONAL MEDIA
Only professional media outlets will receive WFISD Athletics media credentials.

📸 TEAM PHOTOGRAPHERS
Team photography passes are handled through the Legacy and Memorial booster clubs. If you are not credentialed professional media and want sideline access as a team photographer, you must contact the appropriate booster club.
If they do not provide you with a pass, you cannot be on the sidelines.
Team photography passes provide sideline access ONLY and do not provide press box or other restricted media access.
🚨 WHY THE EMPHASIS?
This is NOT a new policy. We are simply making it clear that it will be enforced much more tightly this season. Limiting sideline access helps reduce traffic and keeps the environment safer and less congested for our student-athletes, coaches, officials and game personnel.
Please have the appropriate pass BEFORE arriving at the game.
NO PASS. NO SIDELINE.
Thank you for your cooperation.
