Recruiting Activities at Camps & Clinics
For camp purposes, a prospect is considered to have started 9th grade for all sports except men’s basketball,
softball and volleyball. In these three sports, a prospect has started 7th grade.
In sports other than basketball, football and softball, recruiting conversations during a camp or clinic (including a
camp or clinic that involves only individuals who are not yet prospects) are not permitted between a coach and a
participating individual before August 1 at the beginning of the individual's junior year in high school.
In softball, recruiting conversations during a camp or clinic (including a camp or clinic that involves only
individuals who are not yet prospects) are not permitted between a coach and a participating individual before
September 1 at the beginning of the individual’s junior year in high school.
In basketball and football, recruiting conversations between a coach and a participating prospect during the
camp is permissible.
Conversations may only take place during the time period that the camp/clinic is conducted (from the time the
prospect reports to the camp/clinic until the conclusion of all camp activities).
Any recruiting activities that occur after completion of the camp or clinic are subject to the applicable recruiting
calendar restrictions.
In women’s basketball, a coach may engage in recruiting activities (e.g., campus tour, meeting with academic
advisor) with prospects during a camp.
Coaches may not extend a written offer of athletics aid at camp.
A coach may arrange and conduct a campus tour during a camp/clinic if the format of the tour has been
approved by the Admissions Office. See Walking Tour of UM Campus document
Unofficial visits cannot occur during camp. A prospect may come on an unofficial visit before or after a camp as
long as they leave campus and return prior to camp or post camp.
Official visits may occur during a prospect’s participation in an institutional camp or clinic, except in football.
Official visits may occur in conjunction (before or after) with a camp or clinic with restrictions relating to travel
expenses, recruiting activities and the 48‐hour period which must be determined prior to the visit.
Other coaches (non‐UM) wishing to attend the camp as observers must comply with recruiting legislation and
must follow appropriate recruiting contact and evaluation periods.
A camp with prospect‐age individuals may not include game day simulations (e.g., running out of an inflatable
tunnel, smoke machine, announcing names through public address system).
If current student‐athletes participate in voluntary player run activities surrounding a camp (i.e., open gym), it is
permissible for them to invite a prospect‐age camper. The invitation must be extended to all prospect‐age
campers and not at the direction of a coach or other athletic department staff member. The invitation must be
initiated solely by the student‐athletes. A coach or other athletic department staff member may not observe
voluntary activity or have a student‐athlete report back information related to the activity. Since these activities
are considered voluntary and not a part of the camp/clinic, there is a possibility that any injury sustained during
these activities, either by student‐athletes or campers will not be covered by insurance.
Scheduling of Camps and Clinics
FOOTBALL: Camps/clinics may only be conducted during days in the months of June and July and only in
Montana.
VOLLEYBALL: Memorial Day through July 31
BASKETBALL: Camp/clinic may be conducted only during the months of June, July and August or any calendar
week that includes days of those months (e.g., May 28‐June 3). The camp or clinic must be conducted on‐
campus or within a 100‐mile radius of campus. In women’s basketball, a camp may not occur during the August
shutdown period. In men’s basketball, a camp may not be conducted during the dates when the NCAA College
Basketball Academy occurs.
OTHER SPORTS: Camps and clinics may be conducted at any time of the year except during a dead period.
ALL SPORTS: Non‐prospect age camps may occur during a dead period.
Attendance & Promotional Restrictions
Camps must be open to any and all entrants, limited only by number, age, grade level and/or gender and all
advertisements and promotions (website, social media posts and graphics, brochure, etc.) must indicate this.
All camps must be published at least 14 calendar days before the first date of the camp or clinic.
It is permissible to invite specific prospects or teams as long as the camp is legitimately advertised.
All camps within a sport must have the same advertising and registration procedure, fee and employment
structure, lodging, meals, transportation, and awards. All camps must be conducted in the same or comparable
manner to meet the requirement of being legitimately advertised.
An institution may not provide any type of priority registration for specific prospects.
An institution is not permitted to reserve spots at a camp or clinic for specific prospects. For example, if a camp
is limited to the first 50 entrants, the institution may not reserve 20 of the 50 places for top recruits. It would be
permissible to invite those 20 recruits; however, if any of them were not within the first 50 to register, they
would not be permitted to attend the camp or clinic.
An institution may advertise or promote an institutional camp or clinic toward a particular audience (e.g., elite
camp) or may include a statement or description that advanced techniques will be taught, provided the
advertisement or promotion indicates that the camp or clinic is open to any and all entrants (limited only by
number, age, grade level and/or gender).
An institution may advertise a camp as a position camp (i.e., volleyball setter camp), provided no level of
experience, skill or ability is required and the camp is open to any and all entrants (limited only by number, age,
grade level and/or gender).
An institution can tweet about a camp as long as no prospects are tagged and there are no tweets on individual
campers. Camp information may be e‐mailed to prospects or sent as a direct social media message. There can
be no public social media communication.
Advertisements for an institution’s camp or clinic may be placed in a recruiting publication provided the
publication includes a camp directory that meets the following requirements:
a) The size (not to exceed one‐half page) and format of such advertisements must be identical (size
restrictions do not apply to internet advertisements); and
b) The camp directory must include multiple listings of summer camps on each page (at least two summer‐
camp advertisements of the same size must appear on each page).
Advertisements for an institution’s camp or clinic may not be placed in a high school, two‐year college or non‐
scholastic game program, at high school athletic competitions or on a banner in a high school stadium or
competition site.
There are no restrictions on the size, content or design of a camp or clinics brochure.
Camp or clinic information may be provided to a prospect at any time.
A photograph of a prospect (or multiple prospects) taken during the normal course of camp or clinic activities
(i.e., instruction, competition, meals) may be used in camp or clinic information and advertisements for future
camps or clinics only if the prospect has signed an NLI or some form a written commitment to the institution.
The picture should be an action shot (not arranged or staged) and it cannot be posted on any social media
accounts while that camp is still in session. Camp advertisements should not be created for recruiting purposes,
and should not contain any content that focuses attention or celebretizes a prospect's attendance.
The camp or clinic brochure or website may use a current student‐athlete’s (or a signed prospect’s) name
and/or picture only in the camp counselor section 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 advertise or promote the camp.
Privately owned and operated summer camps are all considered “institutional” and UM marks and logos must
be approved by the CLC/Trademarks office. This is part of the initial compliance approval process for camp
promotional materials.
An institution may include next season's schedule in the camp brochure.
An institution may announce team accolades in their camp brochure (Big Sky Conference, NCAA, etc.)
Telephone Restrictions
Any staff member (i.e., countable coach, volunteer coach, administrative assistant, non‐coaching staff member
with sport‐specific responsibilities) may make telephone calls to an individual (or their family members or coach)
regarding institutional camp and clinic logistical issues since these calls are not intended to be for recruiting
purposes. A team manager may not make such calls.
These calls may not include any recruiting conversation or solicitation of particular individuals to attend the
institution's camp or clinic. If a call includes any recruiting conversation or solicitation of particular individuals to
attend, then the legislated telephone call restrictions apply including the restrictions on who is permitted to
make and receive telephone calls. Camp related calls need to be documented in ARMS.
There is no limit on how many calls pertaining to camps a coach can make because they are not intended for
recruiting purposes. Some examples of logistical issues that may arise and phone contact made necessary:
a) Incomplete, insufficient or illegible payment information;
b) Incomplete or unsigned paperwork or forms;
c) Questions regarding accommodations;
d) Questions regarding required vs. optional items to bring to camp;
e) Questions regarding transportation or meal options at camp; or
f) Medical questions.
Fee Restrictions
UM may not give free or reduced admission privileges to a prospect who is an athletics award winner (high
school, prep school or two‐year college) or any individual being recruited.
It is permissible for an outside organization (i.e., Boys & Girls Club, YMCA) that is not associated with UM to
provide a free or reduced admission to underprivileged youth to attend camp, provided the organization is
associated with an amateur sports organization and the recipients are not high school, prep school or two‐year
college athletics award winners or have not been recruited by the institution.
It is permissible for a corporate sponsor of a camp to provide free admission to the camp to individuals who are
not high school, prep school or two‐year college athletics award winners, nor have been recruited by UM,
provided such opportunity is available to any individual on a need basis.
Group Discounts may be provided as long as they are available and published on an equal basis with
documented standards to all who wish to take advantage of them.
It is permissible to offer discounted admissions to camps and clinics based on objective criteria unrelated to
athletics ability (i.e., registration prior to a specific date, online registration, attendance at multiple sessions,
etc.), provided such discounts are published and available on an equal basis to all who qualify.
Children of athletics department staff members may be provided free or discounted admission to UM camps
and clinics.
A booster may not pay a prospect’s expenses to attend the camp.
Awards, food and apparel received at camp must be included in the cost of the camp.
Transportation for Camp Attendees
It is permissible to provide transportation to camp attendees only if transportation is made available to all
attendees on an equal basis. It is not permissible to offer transportation exclusively to select attendees.
It is not permissible for an institution to reimburse a high school, preparatory school, or two‐year college coach
who is employed at the institution's camp/clinic for mileage or other automobile expenses incurred in
transporting a prospect to campus to attend the camp/clinic.
Camp/Clinic vs. Testing Activities
UM may not host, sponsor or conduct a tryout camp, clinic, group workout or combine devoted to agility,
flexibility, speed or strength tests for prospects at any location.
Camps and clinics may not include activities devoted to measuring agility, flexibility, speed or strength for the
purpose of evaluating prospects. However, such activities may occur if performed in an instructional context.
Results of testing activities may not be recorded or retained for purposes of evaluating the abilities of prospects.
It is permissible to record prospects' participation in a camp or clinic for instructional purposes and to make the
video available to the prospects, provided the cost of producing and distributing the video is included in the cost

providing the video. Such video could not be used for evaluation purposes or be retained after the conclusion of
camp.
