When can recruiting contact with a prospective student-athlete occur at an athletic competition site?

Recruiting contact with a prospective student-athlete at an athletic competition site is permitted only after the competition concludes. This rule is set to ensure that the focus remains on the event itself and that athletes are not distracted or pressured during their performance. Allowing contact after the competition provides an appropriate window for coaches and recruiters to engage with student-athletes in a manner that respects their time and performance. This policy maintains the integrity of the competition environment, upholding the principles of fair play and respect for the student-athletes’ commitments during the event.
