Employment at College/University Camps or Clinics

Student‐Athletes employed by an institutional camps or clinic must meet the following criteria:

Student‐athletes must be paid only for work actually performed.

The rate of pay must be equal to that of a normal employee performing the same task and at the

going rate in that locality for similar services.

Student‐athletes may not be employed because of their reputation, fame, or publicity that they

may bring to the employer.

If you only lecture or participate in demonstrations at a camp or clinic you may not be paid.

Actual travel expenses (lodging, meals, transportation) may be provided or employment only if

such expenses are paid and procedures used for reimbursement of expenses for all employees of

the camp or clinic.

“There may be people that

have more talent than you,

but there's no excuse for

anyone to work harder than

you do.”

-- Derek Jeter, longtime

Yankees shortstop (1995-

2014)

Summer Camps

Coaches that work or operate camps in which prospects participate must ensure that those camps follow all requirements of a GW

camp.

GW sports camps and clinics must be open to any and all entrants limited by only number, age, grade level, and gender. This language

must be included on camp websites, brochures or other advertising/promotions for the camp/clinics.

Coaches may engage in recruiting conversations with prospects at GW camps/clinics ONLY. Please note you are NOT permitted to

extend written or verbal offers of athletically related financial aid to any prospect during his or her attendance at the camp or clinic.

For basketball camps, GW must include an educational session detailing NCAA ini al‐eligibility standards and regulations related to

gambling, agents, and drug use to all camp participants (7th grade and up).

A booster may not pay a prospect’s registration fee to attend a GW camp or clinic, unless it is for their own child.

GW may employ a prospect in its camp or clinic, provided the prospect has signed an NLI or written offer of financial aid.

Compensation for camp employees may only be paid for work performed, and at a rate commensurate with the going rate in the lo‐

cality for similar services.

Please remember that all pre-camp paperwork must be turned in at least 30 days prior to the start of the camp/clinic.

NLI Signing Reminders

By signing an NLI, a prospect agrees to attend the designated college or

university for one academic year. Pursuant to the terms of the NLI pro‐

gram, participating institutions agree to provide athletics financial aid to

the student‐athlete, provided he/she is admitted to the institution and

is eligible for financial aid under NCAA rules.

An important provision of the NLI program is a recruiting prohibition

which goes into affect after a prospect signs an NLI. This prohibition

requires participating institutions to cease recruitment of a prospect

once an NLI is signed with another institution.

A prospect must sign the NLI and athletics aid agreement within seven

(7) days of issuance, or else the NLI is invalid.
