Coaches are placed in a position of authority and have the responsibility to make important decisions regarding team selections, playing positions and playing time. In addition, parents often wish to give their student-athlete every advantage to make a team and secure a playing position and playing time. One possible conflict of interest can arise when school coaches provide private lessons for pay to current players or prospective players to their team. To avoid such conflict, Geneva coaches are barred from giving private lessons for pay to current players on their team or students who could play for them within two years. For those students who do not meet the criteria of being a current player or one who is two years out, to avoid the appearance of impropriety, all Geneva coaches must have the arrangement approved in advance by the athletic director in order to provide paid private lessons.
