Employment of student-athletes

Sun Devil student-athletes who seek employment must complete the Student-Athlete Employment form — available on Teamworks’ compliance and recruiting site — and have their employment approved by the Compliance Office. The student-athlete employment form requires the student-athlete and their employers to review and confirm their understanding of student-athlete employment rules. The rules are summarized as follows:

  • Compensation may only be provided for work performed.

  • Compensation must be commensurate with the local rate for similar services.

Additionally, a student-athlete may receive compensation for teaching or giving lessons in his or her sport. To do this, the following conditions must be met:

  • ASU facilities cannot be used.

  • Lessons must consist of more than simply playing against or with the student-athlete.
  • The appropriate form must be complete and documentation of the lessons must be on file with the Compliance Office.
  • Compensation for the lessons must be paid by the lesson recipient or his/her family and not another individual or entity.
