Provisions for Visiting Teams

It is our pleasure to host many athletic teams from the Ohio Athletic Conference and beyond. Our goal is to make the typical provisions for teams and the traveling Athletic Training personnel. The Ohio Athletic Conference outlines various minimum provisions for visiting teams. We recommend contacting our staff to make us aware of any unusual requests or needs.

The Ohio Athletic Conference Trainers will not provide any electro modality use to visiting team members in the absence of a visiting Certified Athletic Trainer. Teams visiting from outside of Ohio should be aware of Ohio Law with regard to the practice of Athletic Training.

We routinely provide ice water, injury ice and bio hazard supplies. We may also provide cups. We ask teams to supply their own water bottles and towels. Football and basketball teams will also be provided water for their locker room.

A Physician will be in attendance during all home football games and wrestling matches. An Emergency Squad will be on site during all home football games.

The Athletic Training staff uses a variety of resources to monitor inclement weather. We follow NCAA recommendations with regard to dangerous weather including lightning.
