• General Athletic Training information

    We want to welcome the parents of incoming 9th grade students as well as any other NEW student athlete to the ACP Sports Medicine page! Your student-athlete has access to sport specific medical care on ACP’s campus everyday, after school during practices and games.  Please call us or email us if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child's health while participating in a school sponsored sport.

     

      

    Some things you should know:

     

       1.  ALL NEW ACP student-athletes will be taking the ImPACT test for their baseline at the beginning of their season.  See concussion info page for more information.

     

       2.  All student-athletes are encouraged to bring their own water bottle to practices (and some teams games as well).  There will be water provided but you will need to bring a cup/bottle. This is to minimize the spread of illnesses.

     

       3.  All injuries MUST be seen by an Athletic Trainer PRIOR to returning to practice/games.  We are trained in recognizing injuries and treating them appropriately.  We will do what is in the best interest of your child for SAFETY not to win/lose the game.

     

       4.  If your child sees a doctor for an injury/illness - we must receive a note specifically stating that they are "CLEARED TO PLAY" or "CLEARED WITH NO RESTRICTIONS".  If the note says anything else on it, we will follow those orders and so will the coach.  If there are any questions about this, please feel free to reach out to one of the ACP Athletic Trainers.

     

       5.  Make sure the emergency contact information is current and accurate at all times.  If at any time you need to make a change please notify us so we can write it down.  We will be contacting you if your child suffers an injury or if we need you to come and get them.

     

       6.  The location of the athletic training room is in the A Building (main gym area) next to the locker rooms on the north side of the building.  If your child is injured, unless we say otherwise, this is where they will be waiting for you.
