HIRING HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS
TO WORK FOR DAPER
NON-HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES
High school students who do not play high school or
club sports (or individually, such as in tennis and golf)
and are not recruited by Stanford for their athletic ability
may be employed at any time by DAPER, provided
the employment goes through normal Stanford hiring
procedures (i.e., response to employment listing). Any
compensation must be for work actually performed, and
at the going-rate for such services in the Stanford area.
HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES
Prior to graduation from high school, DAPER is not
permitted to hire students who play high school or club
sports, or are recruited by Stanford for their athletic
ability. Departments outside of Athletics, and the
recreation deparment, are permitted to hire any high
school student, provided the hiring is made through
normal Stanford procedures and there is no involvement
by Stanford coaches or staff.
AFTER GRADUATION
After completion of senior year of high school, Stanford
Athletics may arrange employment for students at any
time, except in the case of Stanford camps and clinics.
SPORTS CAMPS & CLINICS
Stanford can hire recruits to work Stanford camps and
clinics after the recruits who have signed a National
Letter of Intent with Stanford. The NLI requirement does
not apply to sports camps and clinics outside of Athletics
(including the recreation department) provided the high
school students are hired through normal Stanford
procedures and there is no involvement by Stanford
coaches or staff.
MARCH MADNESS IS HERE!
March Madness is here! We anticipate a successful March
on The Farm, but want to remind all that the NCAA prohibits
all forms of gambling by student-athletes, coaches, and all
athletics department staff members (full-time, part-time,
volunteers, and outside contractors).
Sports wagering or gambling for cash or any tangible good
(e.g., t-shirt, dinner) is prohibited. This restriction includes,
but is not limited to, office pools or brackets which require a
cash entry and prize for the winner(s). In addition, the NCAA
also considers it impermissible to share team or studentathlete information that will assist another individiual in
placing a bet or sports wager.
Facts on college sports gambling:

The FBI estimates more than $2.5 billion is wagered
illegally on March Madness.
According to the NCAA’s 2008 gambling survey, about
30 percent of male student-athletes and 7 percent of
female student-athletes reported wagering on sporting
events within the past year.
The National Council on Problem Gambling reports
that 26% of athletes who reported gambling started
gambling prior to high school, and 66% began in high
school.
