Promotions for RMU-Owned and -Operated Camps

Each head coach or camp director is responsible for promoting his or her respective camp/clinic/event. However, all printed or internet material promoting a camp, including advertisements, brochures and handouts, must be approved by the Office of Athletic Compliance Office prior to distribution. Original copies of all materials must be provided in the Request for Approval and all proposed publications for advertising must be described on the Advertising Form included in the Request for Approval packet.

General Guidelines

The following actions are PERMISSIBLE:

  • Camp brochures may be a "single two-sided sheet, not to exceed 17x22 inches when opened in full." (Obviously, the "single sheet" may contain as many folds as you see fit to include.)
  • Using the name or picture of any current student-athlete in the camp counselor section of the camp brochure, provided he/she will be employed as a counselor.
  • Placing advertisements for the camp/clinic in non-recruiting publications, such as a Robert Morris University game program, a local newspaper, or magazine.
  • Placing advertisements in a recruiting publication (other than a high-school or two-year-college game program) that includes a camp directory that meets the following requirements:
    1. The size (not to exceed one-half page) and format of such advertisements must be identical, and
    2. The camp directory must include multiple listings of camps on each page (i.e., at least two camp advertisements of the same size must appear on each page).
  • Distribution of sports camp/clinic brochures to prospects or high school coaches.

The following actions are NOT PERMISSIBLE:

  • Using a student-athlete’s name or picture to advertise a camp/clinic in any way other than as part of the camp counselor section as noted above.
  • Agreeing to advertise in a recruiting publication/periodical without obtaining permission to review the layout plan prior to publication.
  • Distribution of posters promoting a sports camp/clinic to prospects or high school coaches.
