Athletic Training Times

The athletic training room is open at 7:00 am until the start of 1st period.

If your child has an injury, they need to come to the training room at this time. This is to make sure we are aware of the injury so we can communicate this information to the coach.

Athletes who come to practice and tell us they were injured from the day before and did not come to morning treatments will be sent to practice until we finish with all of the other students who did come to morning treatments. We will not be responsible for treating any injuries that an athlete received outside (includes club or select) of school time. We will examine them during sick call in the mornings and tell them what they may need to do, but they will come last to the athletes that are hurt during school functions.

Athletic Training Room Code of Conduct

1. Report every injury when it occurs; the longer an issue goes on unreported the more difficult it becomes for us to fix. If an issue develops overnight please report it to your coach/Athletic Training Staff as quickly as possible the following day. If an issue is not reported within a reasonable time then it will be assumed that you are fully able to participate. If student-athletes miss scheduled treatment/rehab without proper reason then they will be assumed fully healthy. Any sign(s) of disrespect shown to the Athletic Training Staff, Athletic Training Room, or Sports Medicine students will result in revoked access to the Athletic Training Room.

   
   
2. If not an emergency, please clean up before coming to the athletic training room and wear suitable clothing.
   
   
3. Please DO NOT WEAR CLEAT SHOES OR SPIKED INTO THE ATHLETIC BUILDINGS OR TRAINING ROOMS.
   
   
4. If you are to receive treatment or taping, please be patient and wait your turn. When you are finished, leave the athletic training room so we can attend to others. Do NOT hang around and get in the way. 
   
   
5. Please do not lie down or sit on treatment tables unless instructed to do so.
   
   
6. No food or drink is allowed in the athletic training room by student-athletes.
   
   

7. Taking items from the athletic training room without permission from the Athletic Training Staff is theft and will be treated as such.

8. Student-athletes are not permitted to operate any athletic training room equipment or modalities.
   
   

9. Athletes are responsible for all items issued to them (crutches, walking boot, various exercise tools, etc.). If it is not returned, the student-athlete will be held responsible for the replacement cost of the items.

10. There will be no fighting or roughhousing in the athletic training room.

11. The Sports Medicine students are to assist the Athletic Training Staff. Please respect them and their services. Any action performed by them should be viewed as an extension of the Athletic Training Staff, meaning any disrespect or noncompliance will NOT be tolerated

12. If a student-athlete sees a physician in the event of any injury or illness during the school year we will require a note from the physician stating what the diagnosis, when the student-athlete can be released (this must be specifically stated) and by whom they will be released. If you need to see a physician and are not sure who you should see, the Athletic Training Staff can assist you

Due to rate of bacterial infections that can take place in school, please remind your kids that showering, washing hands, using clean or not sharing towels, washing clothes in hot water with detergents that have bleach, are all great ways to cut down on bacterial infections such as Staph aureus, ring worm, jock itch and athlete's foot. The Athletic Training staff should be made aware of any unusual bumps or lumps on the athlete's skin. All wounds should be cleaned and covered. Red Oak High School disinfects all athletic areas yearly.
