  • The athletic training facility should be treated as a medical facility - please do not bring in personal items such as cell phones, electronic devices, headphones, electronic games, book bags, gym bags, food, drinks, and athletic equipment.

  • Student-athletes are expected to treat all members of the athletic training staff, including the athletic training students, with the same respect that they have for their coaches. Improper language and immature behavior will not be tolerated.
