Prospective Student-Athlete Tryouts With an Institution's Team

A Division I or III member institution on its campus or elsewhere, is not permitted to conduct (or have conducted on its behalf) any physical activity (e.g., practice session or test/tryout) at which one or more prospects reveal, demonstrate or display their athletics abilities in any sport.
A Division II institution member institution may conduct a tryout of a prospect only on its campus or at a site at which it normally conducts practice or competition and only under the following conditions:

No more than one tryout per prospect per institution is permitted;

The tryout may be conducted only for high-school seniors who are enrolled in a term other than the term in which the traditional season in the sport occurs or who have completed high-school eligibility in the sport and written permission has been obtained from the high school's athletics director; for a two-year college student, after the conclusion of the sport season, and for a four-year college student, after the conclusion of the sport season, provided written permission to contact the prospect has been obtained;

A medical examination of a prospect conducted by an institution's regular team physician or other designated physician shall be permitted as a part of the tryout;

The tryout may include tests to evaluate the prospect's strength, speed, agility and sport skills. Except in the sports of football, ice hockey, lacrosse, s****r and wrestling, the tryout may include competition. In the sport of football, the prospects shall not wear helmets or pads;

Competition against the member institution's team is permissible, provided such competition occurs during the academic year and is considered a countable athletically related activity;

The time of the tryout activities (other than the physical examination) is limited to the length of the institution's normal practice period in the sport, but in no event can it be longer than two hours; and

The institution may provide equipment and clothing on an issuance-and-retrieval basis to a prospect during the period of the tryout.
