We are
concerned about your health, safety, and your ability to perform at your peak
level. If you are experiencing pain or discomfort, please proceed as follows:
 | Speak to your event coach about what is bothering you
immediately. |
|
| Follow your coach’s instructions regarding this injury.
They may instruct you to do one or more of the following: |
|
| ICE (acronym for ice, compressions, and elevation).
DO NOT heat an injury. |
| Assign
rehabilitation exercises. |
| Reduce or
modify workouts. |
| Send you
to the athletic trainer to evaluate your injury. |
|
| If your event coach determines that you need to see the
athletic trainer, do so as soon as possible. Follow his or
her instructions regarding treatment of this injury. Your
level of participation will be determined after the athletic
trainer has evaluated the injury and consulted with the head
coach. |
|
| Go to a
physician only after consultation with our athletic trainer. If you
go to a doctor, you cannot practice or compete in a meet until our athletic
trainer has a note from a physician clearing you to resume participation. |
|
Attendance at
practices is mandatory for competition. To better prepare our athletes
and reduce the risk of injury, all athletes must receive instruction on
equipment and/or implements before competition.
