If a student-athlete is unable to make it to the athletic training room for treatment of an injury during regular hours due to class conflicts, special arrangements can be made between the student-athlete and the individual ATC for that student-athlete to receive treatment.
When a student-athlete is expected to be in for an appointment, he/she is required to be in the athletic training room for that appointment. he/she must notify the Sports Medicine Staff about the scheduling conflict. This will enable us to accommodate more student-athletes. Each time a student-athlete is a no show for an appointment, the coach will be notified.
The following athletic training room procedures must be followed:
- The athletic training room is only for those who are injured or need treatment. It is not a meeting room or gathering place.
- Dress appropriately for ALL treatment sessions. After practice, shower prior to coming into the athletic training room.
- No hats are to be worn in the athletic training room.
- No cleats or dirty gear will be permitted in the athletic training room. Coats, books, shoes, etc. should be left outside the training room due to limited space in the athletic training room.
