


The coach may provide safety or skill
instruction but cannot conduct the individual’s

Voluntary Activities
Please use common sense when discussing voluntary
activities with student-athletes.
If a student-athlete participates due to pressure from a staff
member, they could make a claim that it wasn’t voluntary.
To protect yourself, document in writing (email, letter, etc.)
explaining the voluntary nature of the activity.
No staff member (including strength and conditioning) should
be REQUIRING student-athletes to report back a voluntary
workout (this includes summer).
Mandatory Activities
Student-athletes are the final determination as to whether an
activity is mandatory. Protect yourself by documenting
accurate CARA logs and educating your student-athletes
when activities are not mandatory.
