Staff
The athletic training staff is composed of four certified athletic trainers. Their responsibilities include covering practice and competition as well as traveling with the team as deemed appropriate. Specifically, the athletic trainers are responsible for evaluating athletic injuries, administering first aid and injury care, making medical referrals, and establishing treatments and rehabilitation protocols. The staff also spends a significant amount of time in the education of student-athletes with respect to injury prevention, nutrition and psychological support in dealing with injuries.

Visiting Team Information
The athletic training room, located in the DuFour Athletic Center, can be found directly across from the men's locker room. As you enter DuFour's main doors, proceed to the end of the hallway located in front of you and turn right. We open two hours prior to the start of competition.
Treatment (including taping) for visiting student-athletes is available prior to all contests if an athletic trainer is traveling with the team. If a team is traveling without a certified athletic trainer, taping, moist heat and ice will be available to those that bring supplies and a treatment list from their home athletic trainer. We request that you contact the CUA athletic training staff at least 24 hours in advance if your team will not have an athletic trainer with them.
An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is on site for all home contests. We have an AED wall unit in the DuFour Center (just left of the women's restroom in the downstairs lobby) and a portable unit for use outdoors. If there are multiple events, the AED will be at the highest contact game.
A physician will be on site for all home football games and NCAA Championship games.
