Athletic Training
Palmer Trinity Athletic Trainers are committed
to providing high quality medical coverage
and care for all injuries and illnesses to all
PTS student-athletes regardless of sport,
gender, or ability level. We have a full-time
AT on staff and a partnership with Nicklaus
Children's Hospital to provide additional AT
services as needed. Services provided by
our ATs include injury and illness prevention,
wellness promotion and education, emergent
care, examination and clinical diagnosis,
therapeutic intervention, and rehabilitation
of injuries and medical conditions.
Based on the type and severity of an injury,
corrective exercises and/or therapeutic
modalities may be provided to assist in the
care and treatment of that particular injury.
The plan of care and treatment protocols
provided are individually designed for our
student-athlete's safe return to sport
participation. The therapeutic modalities in
the Athletic Training Facility are calibrated
on an annual basis.
Code of Conduct for
Student-Athletes
» Academic performance is your primary
responsibility.
» Read, familiarize yourself, and comply
with the policies and rules outlined in
the Athletic and Student Handbooks.
» Treat teammates, coaches and
opponents with respect.
» Respect officials and accept their
decision without argument or gesture.
» Exercise self-control at all times, setting
an example for others to follow.
» Win without boasting, lose
without excuse.
» Always remember that you represent
Palmer Trinity School and it is a privilege
to be a member of our teams.
» Report any injury to the Head Coach
and Athletic Trainer no matter how
slight the injury may appear. If the
injury requires a physician's care,
the participant must have a written
physician note clearing them for sport
participation before returning to the
activity. The physician's note must be
given to the Athletic Trainer.
» Extracurricular activities are not an
excuse for missing class, being tardy,
or being absent on the day following
a competition.
Community Service
All teams are strongly encouraged to design
and implement a community service project
each season to bond as a team, to learn to
work together, and most importantly, to give
back to the community.
