• INJURIES


    Whenever a person participates in an athletic endeavor, the possibility of injury always exists. We have written this guide hoping that we can provide the student-athlete and his or her parents with information on how to report an injury, how injuries are attended to, physician referrals, releases to play, and state laws pertaining to injuries.. If you have any other questions that were not covered in this document please contact the athletic training room. The numbers will be provided on the website.

    The Athletic Training Room is a medical facility, and should be treated as such. Do not touch or remove any items or materials without permission. Any athlete who reports to the training room MUST sign-in. Proper behavior and dress will be required at all times.

    The sports medicine team will assess, treat, and make recommendations regarding any injury that occurs while participating as a member of a Hobart High School athletic team. All other injuries acquired while not representing Hobart High School will not be taken care of; these will need to be treated by the family. Furthermore, we cannot assess or treat an injury that was the direct result of a car accident.

    Injury reporting


    The student-athlete is required to report all injuries to their coach, or one of the athletic trainers as soon as possible. The athletic trainer or coach will determine appropriate action regarding the injury. If a member of the sports medicine staff is in attendance, they will evaluate and make a determination to the appropriate course of action that is best for the athlete. Treatment will be based on established protocols furnished by the team physician or other affiliated physicians. Most of the injuries that occur can be treated in the athletic training room. If an injury is more involved, the athletic trainer will recommend a referral to a physician.
