Injury Treatment Policy
All new injuries MUST be reported to the Athletic Trainer as soon as possible. This can be done in several ways:
Talk to Justin before or after practice/game.
Report to the training room after school the next day.
Ø If unable to report the injury that day, please show up in the training room AT LEAST 45 minutes prior to practice/game and expect to be evaluated and treated.
Ø If an injury is not reported until practice/game time, the athlete is expected to participate in practice/game.
Ø NO athlete is allowed to be late to practice/game due to training room time, SO PLAN ACCORDINGLY!!
Ø Treatment and Rehab will NOT be given during practice times unless: the athlete is unable to practice, given permission by the Head Coach, and the Athletic Trainer is available.
Reporting Injuries
It is important to report ALL injuries to the Athletic Trainer, and/or Coach. Often things that seem minor at that particular time can present problems overnight. If you sustain an injury and it doesn't feel better the next day, please report it to the Athletic Trainer. DO NOT wait a week or so to see somebody, this can lead to missed time at practices/games.
If you see a doctor for any injury sustained while playing a sport at Yorktown High School, you must report it to your Coach, the School Nurse, and the Athletic Trainer. Proper documentation must be provided by your doctor for you to return to your sport.
