NCAA legislation regulates Sun Devil student-athlete participation with non-ASU teams or as individuals (and not associated with ASU teams).
Limits on outside team participation
- Competition: Student-athletes are not permitted to participate in any competition on an outside team during the student-athlete’s declared NCAA playing season. Any such competition will result in the loss of a student-athlete's eligibility at ASU for the remainder of the current (if applicable) and following academic years.
- Practice: Student-athletes may be permitted to practice on an outside team; however, there may be limits on the number of student-athletes from ASU who may participate on any one outside team.
Limits on individual competition
Student-athletes are permitted to compete as individuals at any time. Competition as an individual means the student-athlete is using his or her own equipment and apparel and is paying his or her own travel and entry expenses. It also means the student-athlete is not receiving coaching from an ASU coach during the competition.
Every sport has specific regulations and/or exceptions that relate to student-athletes participation in non-ASU activities throughout the academic year and summer. Student-athletes must consult and receive approval from the Compliance Office and their head coach before engaging in any non-ASU competition.
