Dear Soccer Coaches and Athletic Directors,
The SDCIF Board of Managers passed a revision to by law 600.1 in regards to student
athlete’s abilities to participate in college ID camps. I know many of you have been
fielding questions about college ID camps already.
Please see below for revisions to the by-law and rules for eligibility in regards to
participation at college ID camps for the future.
601. PENALTIES FOR VIOLATION OF BYLAW 600
A. Individual
(1) First Offense in High School Career in Any Sport
The student becomes immediately ineligible for participation with his/her high school
team for a number of contests equal to twice the number of contests of outside
competition or twice the number of practices/tryouts in which the student participated
600.1. IN THE CIFSDS DURING SEASON OF SPORT
a. School Team - The current-year San Diego Section Master Schedule,
approved by the Board of Managers, sets the official commencement and
conclusion of each sports season within the San Diego Section. During a
particular season of sport, there are no CIFSDS restrictions on
interscholastic practice or the association of interscholastic coaches and
their athletes.
b. Outside Team - During a San Diego Section athlete’s season of sport, he
or she may not participate or practice on an outside team in the same
sport (Approved January 21, 2003 Board of Managers). For the purpose
of this rule, an outside team is defined as a non-CIF team consisting of
half or more of the number of players required to start a contest by the
respective National Federation rules book. Tackle football is considered

to be a sport separate from touch or flag football. Examples of outside
team sports that would be in conflict include (but not limited to) 3 on 3basketball, slow pitch softball. Examples of outside team sports that
would not be in conflict would be 2-person volleyball, 5 on 5-indoor
soccer, and over-the-line softball.
As two exceptions to this rule, athletes participating in the individual
sports of swimming, diving, and gymnastics may practice during their
season of sport, as unattached athletes, with club teams, which are
established under the National Governing Board for that sport, so long as
the athlete also practices with the school team, and the athlete is entered
to compete as an unattached athlete in the CIF-approved competitions at
Bylaw 600. (Approved June 3, 2003 Board of Managers)
Attendance at College ID camps in all sports.
1. With CIFSDS prior approval, student-athletes are permitted to attend two
college ID camps in any given season of sport. Attendance at any camp beyond
two ID camps is a violation and would result in the penalties described in
601.A.
2. A College ID camp is defined as a sport specific camp, held on a college campus
under the direction of a college coach.
3. Student athletes must receive permission from the site sport head coach and the
Athletic Director/Administrator prior to attending the ID camp. ID camp
participation form must be completed, signed and approved by CIFSDS prior
to a student attending. Participation in an ID camp without prior approval
would result in the penalties described in 601.A.
4. Camp flyer or link to camp website must be forwarded to the CIFSDS office
along with completed ID camp participation form.
5. The section office will list approved college ID camps on the CIFSDS web site
for reference purposes.

NOTE: Tryouts for club teams during the high school season of sport are not
permitted. Practices during the high school season of sport with an
outside team are considered a violation of this bylaw.
Please note: Approved college ID camps list can be found on the CIFSDS website under
the sports of soccer for boys and girls.
Please provide the section office via e-mail, with the name of your student athletes that
will be attending and please note the number of college Id camps they will be
attending. Student Athletes may attend 2 without consequence, if they choose
to attend a college ID camp they would be required to sit out the next 2
scheduled games upon return.
