177) WORKING FOR PAY
Q. May a student coach, teach or officiate an athletic contest for pay?
A. Yes. The rule refers exclusively to actual playing. An individual may be paid for services performed. (By-law 3.083)
For reference, By-law 3.083 is about accepting awards of value in the Amateurism section:
3.083 A student in a member school may accept any other award for participation in an athletic contest, or for athletic honors
or recognition, which does not exceed $75 in fair market value, in the following sports: badminton, baseball, basketball,
bowling, cross country, football, golf, gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track and field, volleyball,
wrestling, and any other sport in which the student’s school provides interscholastic competition. In addition, a student
in a member school may receive and retain items of wearing apparel which are worn for non-school athletic competition
as part of a team uniform provided for and worn by the student during competition.
