About the Athletic Training Services Eastern’s athletic trainers offer on-field care, injury evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation services for student-athletes who participate in any of our interscholastic athletic programs. From ice compression units, to electrical stimulation to cupping, the athletic training facility is equipped with many treatment modalities and rehabilitation machines to help our injured athletes get back on the field, court or mat.

About the Athletic Training Staff Mr. Christy has been at Eastern since 1994. Ms. Breymeier joined Eastern in 2017. Both athletic trainers are nationally certified and licensed by the NJ Board of Medical Examiners. Eastern also participates in the clinical supervision of students enrolled in Rowan University's athletic training education program and serves as an affiliated clinical site. Rowan students are assigned to complete a portion of their clinical experience under the Eastern’s certified athletic trainers each semester.

Return to Play after an injury Please note that athletes who are injured should not return to sports until they are cleared to do so by their physician or one of Eastern’s certified athletic trainers. Those who see a physician must have written physician clearance to return to sports.

If you take your child to a doctor Please bring our Physician Evaluation Form with you. This allows the doctor to indicate any treatment or rehabilitation that can be provided at school, and also to indicate return to play status. Please have the physician complete this form and then have the athlete return the form to the athletic training office.

Minor injuries that have been evaluated by the athletic training staff that do not require a physician evaluation need only to be cleared by one of the athletic trainers to return to play. Please note regarding concussions, we follow return to play guidelines as determined by our school policy and state law, based on the latest published guidelines. If your doctor indicates “no concussion” or a return to play procedure that differs from our school policy, it must be approved by our school physician.

Treatment and Rehabilitation Appointments Athletes who need routine taping or treatment before a practice or game may see the athletic trainers right after school. Those with more significant injuries and who are unable to participate in their sport are scheduled for treatment times that begin at 3pm. New injury evaluations (unless urgent) also take place beginning at 3pm.This allows us to better handle the influx of athletes right after school who are trying to catch a bus or get to their practice or game on time. We ask that athletes stick to their appointment time as this helps us to better manage the daily volume of athletes who need treatment.

Insurance Eastern provides insurance secondary to your personal insurance for injuries sustained during a school-sponsored athletic event or practice. You must submit all bills to your own insurance first, then unpaid bills to the school's insurance along with a claim form provided by the school. The injury must be reported to the coach and athletic trainer to be covered. More about school insurance.
