Compliance Question Of The Week
Compliance Question Of The Week
Question 1:
Can my incoming freshman (August 2012 matriculates) work my camp?
Answer 1:
No - and that includes volunteering / appearing at, playing at, etc. (and includes transfers too - they can't work or volunteer either).
Question 2:
So, can they attend camp as a camper?
Answer 2:
Yes (other than football). They must pay the same rate and be treated the same way as other campers, but feasibly, they can attend as regular camper. (NOT FB).
Question 3:
Can I employ my neighbor's 16-year old son at camp?
Answer 3:
No. Prospects cannot work camp. Stay tuned for an upcoming QoW on general employment of prospects. Till then...ask!
Question 4:
Can I hold (or go work at) a camp where only the very best are invited and welcome? A true Elite Camp?
Answer 4:
No - camps must be open to all and everyone and you can't hold an true Elite Camp. Nor can you go work at someone else's that's not open. And for ANY camp (or other non-IU coaching opportunity) you want to do, ask us first - there's a form!
Question 5:
Can I publicize all the great athletes at my camp? Invite media? Post pictures?
Answer 5:
No, no and no. You don't have to forcibly remove anyone if they are in a general open public area, but no special access or invites, no arranging interviews or pictures and basically, the same permissible level of publicity regarding recruits and prospects being on campus exist as during the rest of the year. That is - none!
Question 6:
Can I use camps to recruit?
Answer 6:
Ah ha! A tricky one. This year, the new rule says you CAN have recruiting conversations during camp! How about that?! You still may not have full unofficial visits or tours or meetings with non-camp personnel and such, until the ENTIRE camp has finished and the PSA has made a point to leave campus (cross Dunn St. or bypass!) and return for their visit. And that unofficial visit must be documented on our form. But, the new rule says you can now talk openly about recruiting during the camp.
Question 7:
Is there any paperwork associated with camp?
Answer 7:
Obviously. Post-camp "settling up" is required, and we're talking about naming names, providing many details, and a full accounting of money. Matt in our office will help. And when he takes his new job in June, someone else will! Congrats Matt.
Reminder here: PRE-camp paperwork is very important too. Those of you who send out brochures, book facilities and advertise camps without our knowledge/approval are, quite simply, doing it wrong. Please get caught up ASAP, and let's hope your stuff is compliant, eh!
Question 8:
May a parent, guardian, camper or other spectator film or photograph camp activities?
Answer 8:
Parents, guardians, campers and other spectators are not permitted to film any camp activities.
Parents, guardians and other spectators may take photographs during camp provided that: (1) they remain in the public spectator areas; (2) the photography does not interfere with camp activities; (3) they cease taking pictures if requested by a member of the camp staff; and (4) photographs of campers (other than their own child) are only taken with their consent.
Campers may take pictures of camp staff and other campers (with their consent) at the conclusion of a camp. The inappropriate use of cell phones, cameras, imaging and other digital devices is prohibited at all times in showers, restrooms, changing room or other areas where privacy is expected by participants
