- We have a certified athletic trainer who is a medical professional at most of our home games and the host school will have one at most away games. They will make decisions on return to play. Our school has an emergency action plan in case a severe injury, all our coaches are CPR/AED certified.
- Our Athletic trainer works under the direction of our team physicians at Alton Orthopedic clinic & Alton Memorial Hospital.
- We ask that if at all possible you work within our sports medicine team. This will result in a higher standard of healthcare for you son/daughter. It will allow them to safely return to sport in a timely manner.
- If you son or daughter seeks medical attention (any doctor or hospital) we need written verification that they can return to participation in their sport. We also reserve the right to withhold them if they are not cleared to return by our athletic trainer and staff.
- A physical is a must to participate, also please fill out your medical history accurately and feel free to contact us about any medical concerns. If there are any underlying medical issues our athletic trainer would like to know about it and communicate with your son/daughter to help prepare them for the upcoming season.
- If you have a concern about injury, especially concussion, please contact our staff and or our athletic trainer. Chances are if our athletic trainer knows about it and it needs further follow up or referral he will contact you.
- Also be aware that the IHSA has a drug testing program for performance enhancing drugs. Please contact us before taking any dietary supplements.
- For more information on our policies and procedure as well as general health information please look under the links and documents tab.
