The Athletic Training office at Thiel College would like to welcome all visiting intercollegiate athletic teams to our campus. To help make your stay less hectic, we would like to offer our assistance and athletic training room facilities for your use.
We highly recommend that a certified athletic trainer accompany all visiting athletic teams. However, we understand that a limited athletic training staff cannot possibly attend all off campus events. Therefore if an ATC is unable to attend we request notification of assistance at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled event. Also, if special assistance is required, we ask that a Treatment Release Form be signed by the visiting team’s ATC and sent with the visiting team coach.
All visiting ATC(s) are welcomed to use our training room prior to and after scheduled events. The following materials, supplies, services and personnel will be available for your convenience during your visit:
-
Taping and treatment tables in the athletic training room
-
Moist heat, whirlpools, ice, US and E-stim in the athletic training room
-
Coolers of ice water on the court, bench or sideline
-
Injury ice with bags and wrap on the court, bench or sideline
-
Spine board, crutches and immobilization devices
-
Waste container
-
ATC coverage on-site or on-call for all events
-
Physician coverage and ambulance service on-site for all home football games
-
Ambulance service on call with ETA under five minutes for all other home events
Please provide your own water bottles and/or cups, towels, and needed taping supplies as these will not be made available from the training room.
In the event of an emergency, your student-athlete will be transported to our local UPMC Horizon Hospital. The hospital is approximately a five-minute drive from campus.
