Visiting Team Information

Athletic Trainer Coverage

An Athletic Trainer is available at all home contests involving Clark University student-athletes.

Please call in advance if your team will be traveling without an AT. We will be happy to help with pre-game taping, but require a note or phone call with specific requests; treatment will be limited to heat and ice.

If an AT is traveling then they will be able to use modalities such as hydrocollator packs, whirlpools, ultrasound, and electric stimulation.

During home contests, water and ice will be provided and an AED and splint kit will be available.

Crutches will be loaned to injured visiting student-athletes on an as-need basis.

Generally, an AT does not travel with our teams with the exception of postseason and tournament play. Please note that each team's emergency medical information can be found in the medical kit provided.
