One or both ATs will be present before, during, and directly after your game to ensure you have everything you need for your student-athletes. If the ATs are not present in the Athletic Training Facility and you need something, please don't hesitate to call either one (phone numbers listed above). The AT covering your event will stop by your bench/sideline and introduce him/herself before the game starts.

Athletic Training
· The athletic training facilities are also available for use by registered members of visiting teams. The Paxon athletic trainers are not responsible for pre-event treatments, and/or taping/wrapping/bracing unless arrangements are made in advance and all supplies are provided.
· At the request of the visiting team’s coach, a Paxon athletic trainer will provide injury assessment, implement appropriate emergency and immediate care procedures (e.g., first-aid, Ice, taping/wrapping), and assist in the return to play decision.
​
Sidelines and Benches
· The visiting team is responsible for providing a plan for individualized hydration supplies for their student-athletes. Bench water will be provided by Paxon, but the traveling team must supply its own coolers, water bottles/cups, and ice unless agreed upon by a Paxon athletic trainer in advance of arrival. 
​
· Injury ice will be available court/field side.
​
Emergencies
On our "Emergency Action Plan" page, you can find the link for the EAP to your specific venue (ex: baseball field, football stadium, etc.).
