1. It is the coaches' responsibility to inform the Athletic Training staff of practice/game schedules. The Athletic Training staff should be notified of practice/game schedules at least one week in advance and notified of any changes at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled practice. Failure to notify the staff may create scheduling conflicts and proper coverage may not be possible.
2. A certified athletic trainer will be on site or available by direct communications (cell phone) during all practice sessions. In the absence of a certified athletic trainer, all coaches should be informed of the Emergency Action Plan.
3. A certified athletic trainer will be on site for all designated varsity home events.
4. The Athletic Training staff will inform the host institution of any special needs your team requires. If any student-athletes wish to receive pre-game treatment at an away contest, they must bring a signed note form a certified athletic trainer or they cannot be guaranteed treatment.
5. Teams will be supplied with a medical kit which must be taken should they desire any medical attention from the host institution (i.e. taping, etc.). All medical kits should be returned to the athletic training room after each game unless indicated otherwise. In the event of an injury, please consult the host certified athletic trainer. This is imperative should the student-athlete wish to seek immediate medical attention (i.e. E.R.).
6. All water coolers, water bottles, etc. utilized in the absence of an athletic trainer should be signed out and returned to the training room or designated area after each session.
