Injury Protocol

Coaches understand getting hurt or being sore is normal for a high intensity athlete. The safety and well being of our athletes is the top priority. Athletic workouts will be challenging in order to build skill level and performance among athletes. 

• If an athlete is not feeling up to their normal standard, coaches will ask them to just do their best. Coaches only want an athlete to sit out if it is a serious injury or high risk situation.

• If an athlete is injured they must still dress out every day and will have an additional paper or digital assignment for the day. Medical Documentation Protocol

• If you are hurt, gauge your pain. If you are really hurt make sure you have let your coach know

Injury Notes

• Parent notes: last 2 days then must have a doctor or trainer note. If it is an upper body issue, they will do a lower body / ab workout. If it is a lower body issue, they will still do an upper body / ab workout. Injury Documentation Protocol If a doctor cannot be seen immediately, the trainer can assess or a parent note with doctor plans can be accepted for extreme situations.

• Doctors' notes: will be respected and followed. Once the date expires, another note must be obtained. Only a doctor can release the athlete after the initial note. 

Trainer

• Trainers are a FREE resource and will be on campus at designated times and potentially during athletic periods for athletes to be seen. 

• The trainers will provide rehab, pain management, and advise on how to quickly and safely return to athletics.
