Our sports medicine staff will be available at least one hour prior to athletic events. Ice, water, first aid supplies, and cups are available at each event. If your athletes require specific modalities (such as ultrasound, muscle stimulation, whirlpool, etc.) we require a note from your team physician or a staff certified athletic trainer. Please have your athletic trainer contact our staff at least 48 hours in advance for any of the modalities listed.
