Athletic Trainer (AT) Availability

The AT is available to athletes most days after school in the athletic training facility, (ATF) just inside the weight room, unless there is a planned/unplanned absence, scheduled competition, or need to be present at another venue.  A tentative daily schedule for the AT will be posted outside the ATF for athletes to reference.

PHS sport teams practice and host home competitions at multiple venues.  This makes it impossible for the AT to be present at all home events.  If the AT is not immediately available at the time of injury, coaching staff can assist athletes/parents in coordinating with the AT.

It is understood that some injuries are recognized after hours.  In these situations, if your athlete is comfortable, they can be seen by the AT the following day. If there is a need to be seen emergently or non-emergently by a physician, please have your athlete return with a physician note (instructions below).

Injury Responsibilities of the Athlete and Parent

• Athletes should check in with the AT regarding injury concerns
• Athletes are responsible for following treatment recommendations
• Parents should utilize Healthy Roster for injury updates and contact AT for more information when needed
• Inform the AT of all physician visits regarding injury or acute illness
  • Provide AT with a written note from physician visits to ensure:
    • Treatment with the AT
    • Return to participation
    • Communication between the physician, AT, and coaching staff

Physician notes should state injury/illness diagnosis, recommendations for sport participation, and treatment recommendations.  Once seen by a physician, athletes will not be returned to participation without written clearance from the physician or guidelines for AT to return the athlete to participation.
