Athletic Training and Sports Medicine

Athletic Training and Sports Medicine Policies

• All students are required to submit completed health and physical examination forms every year prior to participation in any athletic practices or games. Health and physical examination forms are due no later than the first day of school or of pre-season practices for fall sports every year.
• Physicals are valid for one full year from the date of administration and must be dated after June 1 of the same year in order to be valid for the entire upcoming school year.
• Students with a physical expiring in the middle of the school year will be required to obtain a new physical prior to the expiration date of the previous one in order to avoid any gaps in participation.
• Any significant injuries sustained while participating in a school’s athletic event must be reported to the athletic trainer.
• If a student needs to see a doctor for an injury or medical condition that prevents him from participating in his sport, PE or intramural class, the student should be cleared by the same doctor to return to his sport or to transfer his care to the athletic trainer by way of written documentation.
• An injured student will not be permitted to resume practice without the athletic trainer’s authorization.
• Students with specific medical conditions such as allergies, asthma, or any other condition that require the use of emergency devises such as Inhalers, Epi-Pens, or Diabetes kits are required to have these with them at all games and practices.
• All visiting teams will be provided with basic first aid and injury assistance. No taping will be administered to visiting teams unless a prior written request and permission has been received by the team’s athletic trainer via email to Mr. Zack Delgado.
