Not all injuries can be prevented
Catastrophic injuries can occur in any sport
In FCPS, Comprehensive Athletic Training care has proven to influence a reduction in the severity of injury.

assessment of injuries and conditions resulting
Immediate care of injuries Rehabilitation & reconditioning of

responsibility
An Athletic Trainer will be available for evaluations, treatments, rehabilitation &
questions from student athletes, parents & physicians each school day afternoon.
The following events are covered by the home ATC: Basketball, Wrestling, Gymnastics
All injuries & illnesses must be reported to the ATC
All injuries must be reported prior to return to activity regardless of severity or physician consultation
Our philosophy is to return injured athletes to participation in the quickest and SAFEST manner possible using a progressive return to activity
The role of the Athletic Trainer is to make sure your athlete is safe to return to play.
A Parent, Coach, Family Physician, Athlete, Administrator, ATC, or Team Physician can exclude an athlete from participation.
Although one of the above individuals can exclude an athlete from participation the decision to return to play
MRSA is a “Staph” infection
It does not respond to some antibiotics
It is treatable
Like other infections, this can be deadly if left untreated
Severe infections can be prevented by following proper hygiene and early detection and treatment
A concussion is an injury to the brain Concussions can alter a student’s ability
to learn Concussions can be life threatening Signs & Symptoms include: Headache,
confusion, dizziness, change in personality, difficulty sleeping, difficulty concentrating, loss of appetite, loss of memory, and others.
Treatment is REST and hydration
What Is ImPACT?• Web Based Concussion Management Tool• www.impacttest.com
Why Are We Using It?• It is a tool that can help us identify if the brain has
recovered to a point that the athlete is safe to begin to return to sport.
• It also helps us with the safe progression for full return to sport.
Signs and Symptoms: Severe Acne, mood swings, aggression, depression, very fast strength gains, change in physical characteristics, and others.

Participation in activities is a privilege, not a right.
Athletes must conform to high standards.
Violations of the Pledge Policy include:
Drug and/or alcohol useBreaking school rulesOther disciplinary issuesSportsmanship
Athletes are expected not to put themselves into compromising situations where drugs, alcohol, or tobacco products are being used. If they are at a party where drugs, alcohol or tobacco products are being used, students are expected to leave immediately.
Winning on the professional level is required.
Winning on the collegiate level has become expected.
Winning on the high school level should be a pleasant by-product to what you’re really supposed to be doing which is developing young people into good citizens”
Robert Kanaby, Executive Director, NFHS
Be part of the solution not the problem
Concerns expressed directly to the coach.
Notification of any schedule conflicts well in advance.
Specific concern in regard to a coach's philosophy and/or expectations.
Medical or physical limitations of your child.
APPROPRIATE CONCERNS TO DISCUSS WITH COACHES
The treatment of your child, mentally and physically.
Ways to help your child improve.
Concerns about your child's behavior.
ISSUES NOT APPROPRIATE TO DISCUSS WITH COACHES
Playing time
Team strategy
Play-calling
Other student-athletes
IF YOU HAVE A CONCERN TO DISCUSS WITH A COACH, THIS IS THE PROCEDURE YOU SHOULD FOLLOW:* Treat our coaches how you would want to be treated at your place of work
* Call the coach to discuss or to set up an appointment. * If the coach cannot be reached, call the Director of Student Activities (DSA). He will set up the meeting for you. * Please do not attempt to confront a coach before or after a contest or practice. These can be emotional times for both the parent and the coach. Meetings of this nature do not generally promote resolution.
By releasing a child to the game the parent is telling their athlete all the successes are theirs and the failures are theirs.
Many times parents want to be the problem solver because they find it painful to watch their children find their own solutions.
Learn to watch, not coach, the sport your child has chosen
Model appropriate behavior Focus on the team and the team’s
goals One instructional voice
Give your child time and space Let them come to you - be a
reflective listener Keep corrections and criticisms in
check Always address unacceptable
behavior
One comment from a parent that can always be sincerely said and received by a young athlete.
