Conditioning Activities Outside of the Playing Season -- Contact, Equipment, Expenses and
Publicity (I)
NCAA Division I institutions should note conditioning activities outside of the playing season may not
include contact-related drills or activities. The use of training or resistance sleds in conditioning activities is
permissible, provided such equipment is not related to the sport.
The following list provides some examples of permissible conditioning drills and other activities which may
be conducted outside of the playing season:
1. Simulation of game activities, provided no offensive or defensive alignments are set up and no equipment related to
the sport is used; 2. Weight training 3. Running/sprints; 4. Agility/plyometric drills;
5. Military crawls; 6. Obstacle courses; 7. Tug-of-war; 8. Resistance sprints;
9. Sledgehammer training; 10. Battling ropes; and 11. Wheelbarrow races.
Conversely, the following list provides some examples of conditioning drills and other activities which
cannot be conducted outside of the playing season:
1. Wrestling; 2. Mixed-martial arts; 3. Martial arts (with contact); 4. Boxing (with contact);
5. Blocking/tackling/checking drills; and 6. Offensive or defensive alignments.
The rationale for limitations on conditioning activities outside the playing season is based on studentathlete well-being and injury prevention. Specifically, contact-related conditioning activities outside of the
playing season increase the risk of injury. Further, the prohibition against the use of equipment related to a
specific sport places a reasonable cap on the practice activity of student-athletes outside of the declared
playing season, but also allows student-athletes the flexibility to use equipment to develop general
strength and endurance.
Congratulations..To Drew Fitzgerald and the Women’s
Soccer Staff who sent in the first correct answer to last month’s trivia
question!

prospective student-athlete. You have a video clip of a game winning
score and include the link to the clip in the email. In which scenario is
this permissible?
b) The link to the clip takes you to YouTube, where anyone can
view the score and has no recruiting aspects
BONUS QUESTION!

As per Bylaw 16.5.2 (h) you can give a SA a pumpkin and classify it as
a fruit, which you can supply at any time.

Thank You for the Great Experience!
I wanted to personally thank all of the coaches and administrators for the opportunity to
work alongside you this semester! It was an awesome learning experience and I can only
hope the future staff I work with will be as welcoming as you all have been!
Especially Kyle, who allowed me to get involved in the Compliance department and took on
the challenge of having an intern following him around all semester.
I wish you all luck on your future competitions and job opportunities and I’ll be rooting you
all on from a little warmer weather in Texas!
Have a good and safe holiday season! GO BEARS!
