Student-Athlete Employment

Student-Athlete Employment
Student-athletes may be employed during the summer and/or academic year. Please note the following conditions to ensure that you are being employed in a permissible manner:

You must be compensated only for work you actually perform.
You must be compensated at the same pay rate as others employed for similar services
You may not be paid because of your athletics reputation or personal following you have achieved as an athlete.
The employer may not use your name, image or likeness to promote the company or its interests.

Unless you have exhausted your athletics eligibility, all student-athletes who wish to work are required to contact their coach and the Office of Athletic Compliance prior to accepting off-campus employment.

Camps/Clinics
It is permissible for student-athletes to work at USF and non-USF athletic camps/clinics.

Private Lessons
It is permissible for student-athletes to teach private lessons ("fee-for-lessons"), as long as the following conditions are followed:

USF facilities are not used.
Playing lessons shall not be permitted.
USF obtains and keeps on file documentation of the recipient of the lesson(s) and the fee for the lesson(s) provided during any time of the year.
The compensation is paid by the lesson recipient (or the recipient's family) and not another individual or entity.
Instruction to each individual is comparable to the instruction that would be provided during a private lesson when the instruction involves more than one individual at a time.
The student-athlete does not use his or her name, picture or appearance to promote or advertise the availability of fee-for-lesson sessions.

Student-athletes must contact the Office of Athletic Compliance to obtain the required paperwork before engaging in private lessons.
