The Football coaching staff Marian Catholic High School and the athletic trainer can provide physician contacts for injuries sustained throughout the school year.

The Marian Catholic High School Football coaching staff encourages each of our program participants to use the locker room as home. Therefore, it is expected that they will treat the locker room as home. Security is a major issue and students are reminded to be observant of their own situations as well as those who might also be assigned lockers in the same area.


It is important for program participant to be vigilant when it pertains to their locker room and their personal belongings. The locker room can be an area for thievery if our participants allow. The members of the Football program should take great pride in helping to eliminate the “threat” of thievery. More importantly, the members of the Football program should eliminate the “threat” of thievery by being totally accountable for their belongings, books, personal equipment, school issued equipment, and any other items that may need to be housed in their lockers. The best deterrent to the “threat” of thievery is “ownership” of the locker room by our program participants.
