Playing Season Regulations
During the championship segment, teams are permitted a maximum of twenty hours per week of countable athletically related activities, with no more than four hours of countable activity during a single day. Student-athletes must be provided with at least one day off during the week.
During the non-championship segment, teams are permitted a maximum of fifteen-twenty hours (varies by sport) per week of countable athletically related activities with no more than four hours of countable activity during a single day. Student-athletes must be provided with at least two days off during the week.
Outside of the playing season, teams are permitted a maximum of eight hours per week of countable athletically related activities with no more than four hours of countable activity during a single day. Of the eight hours, no more than four hours can be spent on team activities. This activity may be supervised by any member of the coaching or strength and conditioning staff. Student-athletes must be provided with two days off during each week of this period.
SAAC representatives will be required to sign off on weekly logs during the year indicating that your coach has not exceeded these guidelines. If you know you have been required to do more than what is permissible, contact the Director of Compliance immediately and the matter will be handled confidentially.
Request for Permission to Contact/Transfer
If an athlete wishes to transfer to another institution, they must first have a meeting with their coach. Afterwards they need to request a meeting and submit a written request to the Director of Compliance to be placed in the Transfer Portal. Once a written request to transfer is submitted, the student-athlete will have no guarantee of scholarship renewal if they decide to remain at Converse the following year. Student-athletes are subject to the applicable Intra-Conference Transfer Policy. Appeals to the Intra-Conference Transfer Policy cannot be appealed to the institution; an appeal has to be made through the conference office.
