Prospective Student-Athletes and Boosters
Jared Verner - Assistant Athletic Director for Sports Information
At UCCS, we appreciate the continued support from our Boosters. While we encourage your involvement with our programs, there are certain policies we ask Boosters adhere to, to ensure the athletic and academic integrity of our student athletes.
When interacting (including phone calls) with prospective student athletes you may not:
- Contact (including phone calls) or interact with a prospective student athlete or their family for the purpose of persuading them to attend UCCS
- Contact coaches, guidance counselors, or other school administrators in order to gain information on prospective student athletes
- Provide any other extra benefits to prospective student-athletes or their family an dfriends with transportation or financial assistance
- Provide any other extra benefits to prospective student athletes, family, friends, or their coaches
- Make contact with that prospective student athlete or the prospective student athlete's family during unofficial or official visits
- Provide the prospect or the prospect's relatives or legal guardians with money, tangible gifts, or financial aide of any kind
For prospective student athletes you may:
- Identify outstanding potential student ahtletes in your area, and forward information such as newspaper articles to the coach of that sport at UCCS
- Continue to establish friendships with friends and neighbors, even those with prospect-aged children; however, contact for recruiting purposes is still prohibited
- Attend, on your initiative, events such as games and banquets where prospective student athletes are present as long as you do not contact the prospect or their family for recruiting purposes
- Make donations to a high school if it is located in your community. That donation may not be made at the request of UCCS or UCCS coaches, and the funds must be distributed through established channels, not directed towards a specific student athlete.
- Answer a call from a prospective student athlete (you may not initiate the call) regarding UCCS in general but not about UCCS athletics. Please promptly inform comliance services or the coach should the situation arise.
