General Information:

Things you need to know:

Coaches Approval - All individuals who engage in coaching activities at an NCAA-certified event must be approved prior to participation through the NCAA Coaches’ Approval Program. Beginning the spring of 2007, women’s coaches are subject to this requirement as well.

The coaches’ approval process involves an application, verification of criminal background, authorization for release of information and completion of an educational component. The entire process may be accessed and completed through the NCAA basketball certification Web site and takes approximately three to seven days to complete. To apply: NCAA Summer Coaches’ Approval Process

The LexisNexis approval issued to coaches is good for a two-year period (the year issued and the year following - not a literal two years from the date issued). Individuals who have a current approval, but need to reprint their report may do so with the following link: Run Report.

If the applicant or the Event Operator has questions concerning the process, please contact the LexisNexis NCAA Support team at 800-631-8777 or e-mail NCAASupport@Screening.LexisNexis.com. If there is a criminal dispute, the applicant should contact the LexisNexis Compliance Department at 877-913-6245.

As a condition of certification, an event operator is required to verify coaches’ approval prior to participation. This requirement applies to both team and individual events/camps. If the NCAA has not verified the coach as approved within the Basketball Certification Online System, it is the operator’s responsibility to ensure that the individual’s name appears on the LexisNexis list of approved coaches available with the following link: Approved Coaches for 2007

Note: Only NCAA-approved coaches should be allowed to sit on the team bench during an NCAA certified event.

Contact Rules. - Please remind your athletes and their parents that they should not be having any form of contact with NCAA coaches during a certified event.�
Mandatory Educational Session - EVENTS ONLY. - In order for an event to be certified, all prospective student-athletes must attend a comprehensive educational session. The session(s) must consist of an in-person or video presentation. The distribution of printed materials to participants or coaches will not satisfy this requirement. Further, the session(s) must address NCAA initial-eligibility standards, gambling, agents and drug use. Your team should be prepared to attend a session at each event or be denied participation.

Be aware that many operators utilize the NCAA produced educational video to meet this requirement. Even though your team has already seen the NCAA video, they are expected to attend an educational session at each event. Repetition is often necessary for retention.

Team Registration - All teams participating at an NCAA certified event must register online prior to reporting to participate in the event. Coaches are expected to keep their online rosters updated.

The same address and telephone number cannot be utilized for multiple athletes. Failure register or to submit all required information will result in the team being denied participation in all NCAA certified summer events.
