TRAINING ROOM HOURS
The athletic training room is open Monday-Friday from 12:00-7:00 pm for intercollegiate athletics and from 1-3 pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday during the academic year for general staff and student orthapedic injuries. The Athletic Training Room may close during the 1-3 pm hours when there is a conflict with intercollegiate competition. The athletic training room will stay open until the last practice of the day is complete and the athletes are cared for.
On weekends, the athletic training room will open one hour prior to the earliest reporting time for practices or contests. It will close following the last contest.
As a rule, the busiest times of the day are from 3:00-4:00 pm. Athletes must allow ample time for pre-practice treatments and evaluations.
The Sports Medicine Staff at Caltech is responsible for the coordination of health care to the student-athletes within the intercollegiate athletic program. Included in this responsibility are various administrative and clinical duties that are carried out by the Sports Medicine Staff. Clinically, the staff is responsible for the prevention, evaluation, management, treatment, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries. This also includes coordination of physician referrals, determination of participation status, and the counseling and education of student-athletes. Additionally, the Sports Medicine Staff coordinates health care of student-athletes relating to general medical illnesses and conditions as they may affect athletic participation which involves referrals to the Health Center, Counseling Center, or other off-campus health care providers.

Athletic
Health Forms
• Prior to participating in intercollegiate
athletics including practices or strength, conditioning activities
and receiving any pre-season funding - all necessary paperwork must
be completed by all student-athletes using Caltech’s athletic
health/insurance forms.
• All new Caltech student athletes (i.e.
freshman, transfer students, first time athletes) must complete and
submit the Full Health Screening forms to the sports medicine staff
before participating by August 1st for all Fall sports and
October 1st for Winter and Spring sports. The athletic
health screening can be performed by your personal physician at the
same time they complete the institute’s entrance physical
exam.
• Returning athletes must only complete and
return the Health History Update form to the Sports medicine staff
before August 1st for all fall sports and October 1st for
Winter and Spring sports. Exceptions to this are student
athletes who have not participated in intercollegiate athletics for
more than 1 academic year. These individuals must complete and
submit the full athletic health screening form. All student
athletes must have all forms completed and turned in before they
arrive to campus. If they arrive without having the athletic
health screening completed the student athlete will not be allowed
to participate with the team and it will be his or her responsible
to get the health screening done. Please note a fall sport
student-athlete who arrives for preseason without paperwork
completed and submitted will not be allowed to practice or receive
any pre-season funding.
• Please note: There are
areas on subsequent forms which requires your parent/guardian
signature if you areNOT 18 years of
