What are permissible activities/non-permissible activities during a rest period?
Student-athletes may participate in recreational activities open to all other students, and may have whatever supervision is provided in those circumstances. The use of “varsity” weight rooms and cardiovascular equipment (including ergometers) are permissible, provided there is no advance scheduling or team-coach supervision. Sport-specific facilities and equipment that is open only to team members, or to be used only under the supervision of the coaching staff for safety reasons, may not be used by team members during a rest period. Strength and conditioning coaches, who supervise the use of the weight room on a department-wide basis, may supervise the use of the weight room but may not conduct workouts.
