Supporting Student-Athletes with Licensed Healthcare Professionals
As a recognized Safe Sports School, New Hampton Athletic Trainers’ main goal is to keep student-athletes healthy and injury-free. In the event of injury, our certified athletic trainers (ATCs) provide evaluations to determine safe participation status, preventive taping and bracing, and rehabilitation, and communicate with parents of injured athletes. They also keep and maintain records on each individual athlete, their injuries, and their treatments.
Athletes who are not able to participate in practice or contests will be monitored while completing their rehabilitation program and the athletic trainer will liaise with the athlete's treating doctor or physical therapist to carry out any prescribed rehabilitative therapy.
