INSTITUTIONAL CAMPS and CLINICS 3

There are three types of camps and clinics that are regulated by NCAA legislation. They are institutional, non-institutional and a coach s clinic. Prospects do not attend coach s clinics, but because they can have an impact on recruiting (e.g., visit to high school) they have also been included. Institutional camps/clinics are those that are owned or operated (51% ownership or more) by a member institution or its athletics department staff members and have prospective studentathletes in attendance. These camps/clinics may be conducted on- or off-campus. Please be mindful that if new legislation is adopted, certain camps might be restricted to being conducted only on the institution s campus. NCAA Bylaw 13.12.1.1 Definition - An institution's sports camp or instructional clinic shall be any camp or clinic that is owned or operated by a member institution or an employee of the member institution's athletics department, either on or off its campus, and in which prospective student-athletes participate. NCAA Bylaw 13.12.1.1.1 Purposes of Camps or Clinics- An institution's sports camp or clinic shall be one that: (a) Places special emphasis on a particular sport or sports and provides specialized instruction or practice and may include competition; (b) Involves activities designed to improve overall skills and general knowledge in the sport; or (c) Offers a diversified experience without emphasis on instruction, practice or competition in any particular sport. NCAA Official Interpretation [2/1/90]- Definition of institution's sports camp or instructional clinic- camps and clinics a. in order to be considered an owner of an institution's sports camp or instructional clinic, the individual must be at least a majority owner (51 percent of the camp or clinic). b. In order to be considered an operator of an institution's sports camp or instructional clinic, an individual must be personally and directly responsible for the management and operation of the camp or clinic. Non-Institutional camps/clinics are those that are not owned or operated by the institution or employee of the institution s athletics department. These camps may be held at any location, including on the institution s campus. If no prospective student-athletes are participating, the camp does not have to fall within the parameters of the legislation in Bylaw 13.12. A. Admission Expenses NCAA Bylaw 13.12.1.5.2 Payment of Expenses - A representative of an institution's athletics interests may not pay a prospective student-athlete's expenses to attend a member institution's sports camp or clinic. 4

1. Free/Reduced Admission NCAA Bylaw 13.12.1.5.1 General Rule- An institution, members of its staff or representatives of its athletics interests shall not employ or give free or reduced admission privileges to a high school, preparatory school or two-year college athletics award winner or any individual being recruited by the institution per Bylaw 13.02.12.1. For purposes of this rule, a high school includes the ninth-grade level, regardless of whether the ninth grade is part of a junior high school system. NCAA Staff Interpretation [10/29/03]- Free or Reduced Camp Admission for Children of Institutional Staff Members and Camp Coaches; Camp Employment for Children of Institutional Staff Members - It is permissible for an institution to have an institutional policy or athletics department policy that permits the children of institutional staff members or athletics department staff members to be employed or receive free or reduced admission to the institution s camps or clinics regardless of whether the staff member s child is a high-school, preparatory-school or two-year college athletics award winner. It is permissible for an institution to provide free or reduced admission to its camp or clinic to the child of a coach who is an instructor in the camp or clinic (who is not an athletics department staff member at the institution hosting the camp or clinic), provided the opportunity is available to children of all coaches instructing in the camp or clinic. NCAA Staff Interpretation [4/6/94]- Free or Reduced Admission Privileges- It is permissible for an institution to provide free or reduced admission to attend the institution's camp/clinic to individuals who are not high-school, prep-school or two-year college athletics awards winners and who are not being recruited by the institution to participate in its intercollegiate athletics program. The provision of reduced-admission privileges to selected individuals who are not athletics award winners is not considered an offer or inducement; however, such individuals, even those below the ninth grade, who receive such privileges, would be considered prospective student-athletes. 2. Group Discounts NCAA Staff Interpretation [6/2/89]- Group discounts to camps or clinics States that it is permissible to offer coaches and athletes a group discount provided those discounts are available on an equal basis with documented standards to all who wish to take advantage of them. B. Advertisement Institutions may not buy or arrange to have its camp/clinic advertisements in game programs or other printed materials published to provide information concerning the athletics participation or evaluation of prospects (i.e., recruiting publications). NCAA Bylaw 13.4.4.1.3 Summer-Camp Advertisements- Advertisements of an institution's summer camp or clinic in such recruiting publications are permissible if placed in a periodical (other than a high school, two-year college or non-scholastic game program) that includes a camp directory that meets the following requirements: 5

(a) The size (not to exceed one-half page) and format of such advertisements must be identical; and (b) The camp directory must include multiple listings of summer camps on each page (i.e., at least two summer-camp advertisements of the same size must appear on each page). NCAA Official Interpretation [4/19/00]- Summer Camp Advertisements on the Internet- An institution may advertise its camp and clinic on a recruiting publication's Web site provided the format of such advertisements is identical and the Web site camp directory includes multiple listings of summer camps. The half-page size restriction applicable to advertisements in printed publications is not applicable to advertisements placed on the Internet. An institution may also advertise their sports camps and clinics in non-recruiting publications (e.g., member institution s game program). NCAA Official Interpretation [10/29/08] Advertising an Institutional Camp or Clinic It is not permissible for an institution to advertise or promote an institutional camp or clinic in any way that implies a participant should possess a certain level of experience, skill or ability to attend the camp or clinic (e.g., elite camp, all-star camp, varsity camp, five-star camp, blue chip camp). Any depiction of ability level is not permissible in the advertisement of a camp/clinic, which also includes the words beginner or advanced. It would however be permissible to use words in the camp name to describe the instruction offered, such as high intensity camp or full force camp. C. Attendance Institutional camps/clinics must be open to any and all entrants (limited only by number and age). Enrolled student-athletes may not enroll as campers at his/her own institution s camp/clinic. Selected prospective student-athletes can be invited to attend an institution s camp/clinic provided the camp/clinic is legitimately advertised making it open to all entrants (limited only by number and age). Further, coaching staff members may not work exclusively with certain prospects. In sports other than football, two-year and four-year college prospective student-athletes can participate in another institution s camp/clinic. The following restrictions do apply: 1. Camp/clinic must be open to all entrants (limited only by number and age) 2. Participant pays going rate to attend camp/clinic 3. Participant s coach is not on camp staff (Divisions I and II) NCAA Bylaw 13.12.1.2 Attendance Restriction- A member institution's sports camp or clinic shall be open to any and all entrants (limited only by number and age). NCAA Bylaw 13.12.1.2.1 Exception- Football- In football, a "senior prospective studentathlete" shall not be permitted to enroll, participate or be employed at any such sports camp or clinic. 6

NCAA Staff Interpretation [8/19/88]- Sending camp invitations to prospective studentathletes- Would allow an institution to invite particular prospective student-athletes to its camp provided the institution legitimately advertises the camp, making it open to all entrants limited only by number and age; however, it is not permissible for an institution's coaching staff member employed in such a camp from working exclusively with certain prospective student-athletes, inasmuch as such selective tutelage would constitute a special arrangement for the prospective student-athletes. D. Awards & Benefits NCAA Bylaw 13.12.1.5.4 states that prospective student-athletes may receive awards from a member institution's sports camp or clinic with the understanding that the cost of such awards is included in the admissions fees charged for participants in the camp or clinic. Any benefits (e.g., transportation to campus, video tape of camp) provided to campers must be legitimately advertised and made available to all camp attendees. NCAA Staff Interpretation [1/29/03]- Institution loaning equipment to prospects during summer camp- An institution may loan athletics equipment (e.g., football helmet, softball bat) to prospective student-athletes who are attending the institution's summer camp, provided the equipment is necessary for participation in camp activities and is available to all prospects attending the camp. E. Brochures As per NCAA Bylaw 13.4.1.1-(a), camp brochures may be sent to prospective student-athletes at any time, including prior to the permissible recruiting materials date for a particular sport (e.g., September 1 of HS junior year). Camp brochures are not restricted in content or design. Brochures are, however, restricted to a single, two-sided sheet, not to exceed 17 x 22 when opened in full. A student-athlete s name, picture and institutional affiliation may only appear in the camp counselor section to identify the student-athlete as a camp counselor. This rule applies to both institutional and non-institutional brochures. After the student-athlete exhausts eligibility, his/her picture could appear in other sections of the camp brochure. NCAA Bylaw 12.5.1.7 Camps- An institutional or privately owned camp may use a studentathlete's name, picture and institutional affiliation only in the camp counselor section in its camp brochure to identify the student-athlete as a staff member. A student-athlete's name or picture may not be used in any other way to directly advertise or promote the camp. Violations of this bylaw shall be considered institutional violations and do not affect the student-athlete's eligibility. 7

An institutional staff member who conducts a camp independent of the institution may not use the names or pictures of student-athletes with eligibility remaining in the camp brochure if the student-athletes will not be employed as counselors at the camp. Such a brochure may include the name, picture and institutional affiliation of any student-athlete who will be a counselor at the camp only to identify the student-athlete as a staff member and may not use the student-athlete's name or picture in any other way to directly advertise or promote the camp. NCAA Educational Column [6/8/98] - 11.3.2.11 -- Quotations and Pictures Used to Promote a Camp- NCAA Division I institutions should note that an institution's coaching staff member may not promote a non-institutional camp or clinic by permitting the use of his or her quotations and/or pictures in the camp or clinic brochure, unless that coaching staff member is employed by the camp. F. Camp Calendar All sports other than football and basketball in Divisions I and II can conduct institutional camps/clinics anytime during the year EXCEPT during a dead period. NCAA Bylaw 13.12.1.1.2- Football and Basketball- An institution's football camp or clinic may be conducted only during two periods of 15 consecutive days in the months of June and July or any calendar week (Sunday through Saturday) that includes days of those months (e.g., May 28-June 3).

The prohibition against recruiting includes extending verbal or written offers of financial aid to any prospective student-athlete during his or her attendance at the camp or clinic. Other coaches wishing to attend the camp as observers must comply with appropriate 8

recruiting contact and evaluation periods. In addition, institutional camps or clinics may not be conducted during a dead period. G.

Campus Tour Occuring During Camp Clinic A campus tour for the purpose of showing the camp participants a tour of all the facilities they will be using during their stay, such as dorms, student unions, athletics facilities or to provide some sort of informational material to the campers so that when there is down time, the campers will be able to negotiate themselves around the campus would be permissible. This is really a generic tour that simply provides them basic, essential information about where everything is oncampus. An organized tour promoting the benefits of a particular campus would not be permissible. Recruiting activities should not occur at camps and clinics, any tour that, in essence, is designed to promote or sell the benefits of the institution is not permissible 14

When a prospective student-athlete in football or basketball participates in an athletics contest or event (including a non-institutional, private camp or clinic) on a member institution's campus outside of a contact period, it is not permissible for an authorized institutional staff member to have contact with the prospective student-athlete until the calendar day following his or her release from the competition. Further, if a prospective student-athlete is visiting an institution's campus immediately before or after participating in an athletics contest or event on the institution's campus, the prospective student-athlete must depart the locale of the institution the calendar day before or after the contest or event (see Bylaw 13.1.7). NCAA Educational Column [6/7/02]- 2002 Column No. 12 - Division I Football and Basketball - Division I institution s should note that according to NCAA Bylaw 13.1.7.2.2, inperson contact with a prospect shall not be made on or off the member institution s campus at the site of practice or competition for any athletics event in which the prospect participates outside the permissible contact periods in the sports of football and basketball. When a prospect in the sport of football or basketball participates in an athletics contest or event (including a non-institutional, private camp or clinic) on a member institution's campus outside of a contact period, it is not permissible for an authorized institutional staff member to have contact with the prospect until the calendar day following his or her release from the competition. Further, if a prospect is visiting an institution's campus immediately before or after participating in an athletics contest or event on the institution's campus, the prospect must depart the locale of the institution the calendar day before or after the contest or event. Please note that for the purposes of this legislation, a distinction can be drawn between institutional and non-institutional camps/clinics. As specified in the legislation, outside of a contact period authorized institutional staff members are not permitted to have contact with a prospect on the same day as his or her release from a non-institutional camp/clinic. However, such contact would be permitted on the same day as, but after a prospect s release from an institutional camp/clinic. Thus, after an institutional camp/clinic a prospect would not be required to depart the locale of the institution and return to the campus the following day in order to be contacted by an authorized institutional staff member. 18

NCAA Staff Interpretation [10/2/92]- Camp or clinic considered athletics competition- For purposes of 13.1.6.2, a camp or clinic is considered to be an athletics competition or athletics event; therefore, a coaching staff member may make recruiting contacts during a permissible contact period with prospects participating in a camp or clinic only after the completion of the camp activities on the final day of the camp or clinic. D. Exceptions to Employment If the non-institutional camp/clinic is NOT operated under restrictions applicable to institutional camps/clinics, an institution s athletics department personnel may serve in any capacity at a noninstitutional camp/clinic provided the camp or clinic meets the following conditions: 1. Designed to develop fundamental skills in a sport 2. Open to the general public (except for restrictions in age or number of participants). 3. Conducted primarily for educational purposes and does NOT include material benefits for participants 4. Participants do not receive a recruiting presentation 5. Participants reside in the same state in which the camp/clinic is located or, if outside of the state, within 100-miles of the camp/clinic Non-coaching athletics staff members with department-wide responsibilities may present an educational session at a non-institutional camp/clinic that is not operated under the restrictions of institutional camps/clinics provided the individual does not make a recruiting presentation. NCAA Bylaw 13.12.2.3.3.1 Exception Non-coaching Athletics Staff Members with Department-Wide Responsibilities- A non-coaching athletics staff member with departmentwide responsibilities may present an educational session at a non-institutional, privately owned camp/clinic that is not operated under the restrictions applicable to institutional camps/clinics provided the staff member does not make a recruiting presentation. E. Employment Sports Other Than Basketball NCAA Bylaw 13.12.2.3.3 Other Non-institutional Privately Owned Camps/Clinics -- Sports Other Than Basketball- In sports other than basketball, an institution's athletics department personnel may serve in any capacity (e.g., counselor, guest lecturer, consultant) in a noninstitutional, privately owned camp or clinic, provided the camp or clinic is operated in accordance with restrictions applicable to institutional camps (e.g., open to any and all entrants, no free or reduced admission to or employment of athletics award winners). In football, participation in such camps/clinics is limited to two periods of 15 consecutive days in the months of June and July or any calendar week (Sunday through Saturday) that includes days of those months (e.g., May 28-June 3). The dates of the two 15-day periods must be on file in the office of the athletics director. In basketball, a coach (or any individual with basketball only responsibilities) may not be employed at a non-institutional privately owned camp or clinic. 19

COACHES CLINICS 20

A. Demonstrators NCAA Staff Interpretation [11/15/06]- Student-Athletes Serving as Demonstrators in Sports Camp or Clinic (I)- In sports other than football and basketball it is permissible to assemble members of an institution s athletics team with remaining eligibility for demonstration purposes in conjunction with a sports camp or clinic that occurs outside the playing season in the student-athletes sport only if the demonstration is included within the weekly hourly limitations outside of the playing season and meets the limitations set forth in the skill-instruction legislation. In football, it is not permissible to assemble members of an institution s team with remaining eligibility for demonstration purposes only in conjunction with a sports camp or clinic that occurs outside the playing season. NCAA Staff Interpretation [10/24/01]- High School Prospective Student-Athletes as Demonstrators in Coaches Clinics (I)- A prospective student-athlete is not permitted to serve as a demonstrator at a member institution s coaches clinic (e.g., a clinic designed for other coaches), noting that this prohibition relates to any individual who has started classes for the ninth grade and is not enrolled in a member institution. A member institution s coach that attends non-institutional coaches clinics that use prospective student-athletes as demonstrators must count it as an evaluation. B. Gifts NCAA Bylaw 13.8.2.1 Gifts at Coaches' Clinic- An institution may not provide gifts to high school, preparatory school or two-year college coaches in conjunction with its coaches' clinic or other events. This specifically prohibits the provision of a door prize to the coach, even if the cost of the prize is included in the cumulative admission fee (i.e., the admission fee charged to each person, when combined, would cover the cost of the prize). Materials (e.g., clipboards, file folders) may be provided to each person attending the clinic, provided the items are included in the registration or admission fee. NCAA Staff Interpretation [2/9/94]- Merchandise from vendors at coaches' clinic- It is not permissible for a prospect's coach to receive any gifts or prizes in conjunction with institutional coaching clinics, including gifts or prizes from outside entities (e.g., apparel or equipment manufacturers) who set up displays or booths at the clinics. C. Recruiting Implications It is permissible for an institution s coach to speak at a coaches clinic, but it could have an impact on recruiting depending on when the clinic is conducted (e.g., recruiting period). In the sports of football and basketball, speaking at the clinic could count as the institution s once per week visit to the high school. NCAA Staff Interpretation [1/16/02]- Basketball or Football Coach Speaking at Clinic Outside Contact Period (I)- It is permissible for a member institution s coach to speak at a coaches clinic held at a prospect s educational institution outside a contact period provided the 21

provisions of 13.1.9-(b)-(2) (basketball) or 13.1.9-(c)-(2) (football) are satisfied. It is not permissible for a member institution s coaching staff to engage in recruiting activities at the clinic, nor is it permissible to attend a coaches clinic at a prospect s educational institution, in any capacity other than a speaker, outside of a contact period. 22
