GAME DAY PROCEDURES:
GAME DAY PROCEDURES:
- Varsity athletics competition days are NOT an evaluation and/or treatment day for athletes that are medically cleared to participate in sporting event.
- The host athletic trainer is responsible for both the home and visiting team’s needs.
- For MOST sports the host ATC will be available TWO HOURS prior to the start of competition.
- Student-athletes may NOT request tapings for game days. If you are not being taped for practice or receiving rehabilitation for an injury, then no taping will be performed for games.
- Student athletes need to be compliant for treatments. If you are traveling to an away game, you are to follow the same game day procedures as a home game. The athletic training staff will be in contact via email 24 hours before competition with the Host ATC and will communicate the student-athlete’s needs for pregame such as tapings.
RELEASE OF MEDICAL INFORMATION:
Due to many student athletes being over 18 years of age, we follow all HIPAA rules and regulations when dealing with release of medical documentation and/or records. If a student-athlete chooses to share their medical information they may ask a member of the athletic training staff for a HIPAA medical release form, in which they may list individuals they choose to share their medical records. This release will be in effect for four years, unless the student-athlete requests to stop in release
