Compliance Question Of The Week
Question:
As a coach, what type of activities can I supervise for my student-athletes in the summer?
Answer:
There are different answers for different sports so read along. No matter what, all activity by student-athletes in summer must be voluntary!
Team Sports: Sorry, you can't observe your student-athletes training, working out, playing in open gym, or even walking quickly from one activity to another. Same goes for ALL athletics staff members.
Individual Sports: You may be present to provide instruction for your student-athletes, provided they have requested your presence at their voluntary workouts. This only covers actual skill instruction activities, and does not allow you to observe their strength or conditioning workouts at any time.
Safety Exception Sports: You may be present to provide safety instruction for your student-athletes, but may only be at workouts when the "danger" inherent in your sport is occurring. This exception allows you to supervise and conduct skill instruction, but will not cover strength and conditioning activities at any time.
Question:
Camp season is now in full swing. Can my incoming freshmen and transfers who are already here on campus work my camps as counselors?
Answer:
No. Never. IU camps are not eligible to employ prospects as counselors, even if they have signed an NLI, signed a tender or are otherwise walking on to your program. Any prospect must first have initially enrolled full-time (i.e. in fall) and started classes at a four-year institution prior to being eligible to serve in any capacity at an IU camp.
