Is it against NCAA D1 rules for a high school age girl to get paid for pitching instruction?

So is that a YES or a No?

BC, giving pitching instructions for money doesnt fit in any of the items that Sam listed - I looked this up as well and couldnt find any reason why what she is doing is illegal.

From the spirit of what I think the law is for, the NCAA doesnt want athletes who have played for pay, it doesnt even come close.

I just wanted to hear whether there were any exception type of things that could get us in trouble.

No.

DD takes hitting and fielding lessons from college players (yes we pay for these).

We were referred to the players by their coach. They do actually teach.

Now, if it were one of those deals where they get paid, but don’t do the lessons, that may be a different issue.
