Is this Camp Open to All Players?

[NCAA Bylaws 13.11.3.1 (Open Events)]
OK for College Coaches to Co-Host and Instruct at a Camp?
YES, an institution’s athletics department personnel may serve in any capacity (e.g., counselor, guest lecturer, consultant) in a noninstitutional, privately owned camp or clinic, provided the camp or clinic is operated in accordance with restrictions applicable to institutional camps (e.g., open to any and all entrants, no free or reduced admission to or employment of athletics award winners).

OK for College Coaches to Contact Players to Invite them to Camp?

Does this Count on the Recruiting Calendar?

Is this a Tryout?

A representative of an institution’s athletics interests may not pay a prospective student-athlete’s expenses to attend a member institution’s sports camp or clinic.
