been shown to reduce the initial severity of injury and the incidence of
re-injury.

the Athletic Trainers prior to a 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.
Rehabilitation and reconditioning is a primary role of the Certified Athletic TrainersEvery injury will benefit from some form of
rehabilitation

Physician – Please bring in a note that informs us of diagnosis, what rehab or treatment the physician would like, and the participation status.
Return To PlayDescribes a process rather than a singular event
Discrete steps of increasing intensityOccurs over period of days → weeks
Depends on nature/severity of injury
Includes:Regular evaluation & treatment by ATC
Strengthening, range of motion, proprioceptionSport specific skillsGraduated participation during practices
In most cases, students should demonstrate ability to play during PRACTICE before competing in a game
A parent, coach, family physician, athlete, administrator, ATC, or team physician can exclude an athlete from participationAll must be in agreement that the student can and should
play
NutritionGood nutrition should be a priorityProper hydration is essential

than any pill or supplement60-70% carbohydrates15% protein15% fat

Communicable InfectionMRSA
MRSA is a “Staph” infection: Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus
MRSA does not respond to some common antibiotics, but…
It is treatable, however…Like other infections, MRSA infection can become very
serious if left untreatedSevere infections can be prevented by practicing proper
hygiene and early detection
H1N1 (Swine Flu) If your athlete has a rapid onset of: fever, sore throat,
chest congestion, and or body aches; they should inform the athletic trainer by phone, stay home and see their family physician.

FCPS Participation Pledge PolicyParticipation in activities is a privilege,
not a right.Athletes must conform to high
standards.Violations of the Pledge Policy include:
Drug and/or alcohol use Breaking school rules Other disciplinary issues Sportsmanship
Student Standards of Conduct
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.
FCPS Student Activities and Athletic Programs/MISSION Participation in student activities is truly a learning experience and an enhancement of the regular school day. National studies and research indicate that:
Participation in athletics and activities promotes citizenship.
Students involved in activities have higher grade point averages than do nonparticipants.
Students involved in activities have better attendance records than do nonparticipants.
NFHS MISSION/STATEMENT“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
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENTThe primary role of high school athletics is to
build lifetime character traits in the young people who are in our care.
We must never lose sight of the big picture – that our athletic programs are primarily for the benefit of the students who participate in them.
COMMUNICATION COACHES EXPECT FROM PARENTS 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.
COMMUNICATION COACHES EXPECT FROM PARENTS
As your children become involved in the athletic programs they will experience some of the most challenging and rewarding moments of their lives. It is important to understand that times may also arise when things do not go the way you or your child wants. At these times, discussion first with your child, and then with the coach, if needed, is encouraged.
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:
* 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.
PARENTS/FANSThe Role of the Parent in Athletics
Release Them to the GameBy releasing a child to the game the parent is
telling their athlete all the successes are theirs and the failures are theirs.
“I LOVE WATCHING YOU PLAY”
One comment from a parent that can always be sincerely said and received by a young athlete.
