Athletic Training & Fitness
Rye Country Day School provides athletic training services to all Middle and Upper School student-athletes. Athletic trainers are on site for all home practices and competitions. Student-athletes may receive care in the athletic training room every weekday afternoon from 2:00 p.m. until the last practice or game has ended, or by appointment. Parents/guardians are encouraged to reach out to the Athletic Trainers any time they may have a question or concern about their student-athlete.
Athletic training encompasses the prevention, examination, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of emergent, acute, or chronic injuries and medical conditions. Athletic training is recognized by the American Medical Association (AMA), Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA), and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as an allied health care profession.
The primary responsibilities of athletic trainers include:
- Injury prevention
- Recognition and evaluation of injuries
- Management and treatment of injuries
- Rehabilitation of injuries
- Managing return-to-play protocols
- Evaluating conditions to ensure student-athlete safety
