NCAA C ERTIFIED E VENTS

NCAA C ERTIFICATION OF E VENTS A DDRESSES : Prospect health and wellness Prospects missed class time in the fall and in January Non-institutional camps Recruiting calendar

H OW IT WORKS : Follow existing legislation for Men’s and Women’s Basketball: All non-scholastic events must go through an online pre-approval process through the NCAA All teams participating must be registered prior to participating in the certified event

H OW IT WORKS : Athletic trainer on site Background checks for all event operators and club coaches

H OW IT WORKS : Online rosters must be updated ahead of time with unique addresses and contact information for each prospect College coaches can always attend scholastic events – scholastic events don’t need NCAA certification

W HAT IT LOOKS LIKE : College coaches are at the events to EVALUATE not ‘recruit’ No contact on site between college coaches and travel ball coaches/no recruiting coordinators talking to coaches Div I coaches cannot attend non- certified events

W HAT IT LOOKS LIKE : College coaches show up Have a designated place to park Evaluate games in designated viewing areas Books contain updated/accurate information

W HAT IT LOOKS LIKE : Games during academic periods cannot be played before Friday at 4p or after 8p on Sunday Combines are allowed Games, tournaments and leagues allowed

W HAT IT LOOKS LIKE : Existing EVENT OPERATORS will continue to run events but will need to adapt their events to be NCAA Certified An unlimited number events allowed to be operated on designated weekends

P OSITIVE E FFECTS Establishes a standardized and fair system for Div I college coaches, travel ball teams, and event operators Prospects have a legitimate opportunity to practice, train and improve without the presence of Div I coaches Travel ball coaches get to coach their teams instead of consuming themselves with the college placement pageantry

P OSITIVE E FFECTS Consolidation of events College coaches can plan their evaluation schedules out in advance Can’t have ‘side events’ spurred on at the last minute

O THER B USINESS Camps and clinics Keep going along the lines of regulating this Div I College Coach employment at institutional camps Must establish a window of time for sanctioned events (Dr. James Andrews – Periodization and overuse injuries) Summer and Restricted Fall window

T HINGS TO C ONSIDER Tournaments restrict distance between fields by a certain mile radius Streamline the recruiting book across the board – every tournament must include the exact same information (same template for all events) Use an online data entry system for all tournaments so data is available to college coaches real-time

T HINGS TO C ONSIDER All teams have to pay the same entry fee (no good guy discounts) Alter the MBB/WBB legislation to allow for some contact between college coach and club coach during events Regulate the college coaches expenses to attend the event (no cost for entry and no cost for book)
