MEDIA INFORMATION

The RIIL appreciates all of the print, broadcast and online media that cover the great accomplishments of the student-athletes, teams and coaches of our member schools. Regular-season games are under the jurisdiction of host schools; therefore, requests for media/sideline access for those contests must be obtained through an athletic director and/or school administrator. Media credentials for Rhode Island Interscholastic Tournament events are issued to appropriate persons employed by, and responsible to, recognized media entities.
