PLAYING SEASONS AND DAY-OFF POLICY

The Department of Athletics reviews and approves all competition and practices in accordance with NAIA regulations. The NAIA permits programs to conduct official team activity within a designated 24-week period each academic year, not including no more than 3 allowable breaks in enrollment (semester breaks, spring break, etc.), where appropriate.

Indiana Tech requires each program to designate at least one day off within each week (defined as 12 AM Monday through 11:59 PM Sunday) during which no required athletic activity may occur. This includes, but is not limited to practice, competition, video review, strength & conditioning activity, team meetings, and facility and/or equipment maintenance. Limited exceptions to this policy may be approved by the Department of Athletics if unique and uncontrollable circumstances arise.

Student-athletes and other individuals that believe the institutional policy is violated shall direct communication to the appropriate sport administrator in the Department of Athletics.
