Athletic Trainers:
Molloy University employs five full time Certified Athletic Trainers. All are certified by the National Athletic Trainer's Association Board of Certification and licensed by the NY State Department of Education. Athletic Trainers are highly qualified, multi-skilled health care professionals who collaborate with physicians to provide preventative services, emergency care, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions. Our mission is to provide the highest possible standard of medical care to all Molloy student-athletes, regardless of race, sex or other personal differences. The Athletic Training Facility is located in the lower level of the Wilbur Arts Building.

Team Physician:
The Department of Athletics retains its Team Physicians through Mercy Medical Center/Catholic Health Services. They are responsible for review and oversight of all medical decisions regarding Molloy student-athletes, and maintain the final determination on medical clearance to participate. They are available to student-athletes for physical exams prior to the fall pre-season, via free clinics on campus at least once per week during the academic year, and via standard office appointments. They are also available for coverage of home contests at the discretion of the Department of Athletics. Appointments for physical exams, weekly clinics, and all necessary follow up appointments will be made by the Sports Medicine Staff.

Team Physical Therapist:
The Department of Athletics Team Physical Therapists are responsible for all necessary rehabilitation programs for Molloy student-athletes. They are available in the Athletic Training Facility weekly during the academic year and by appointment at their office, The Schwarz Institute, in Massapequa and Dix Hills. All necessary prescriptions will be written by our Team Physicians and appointments will be made by the Sports Medicine Staff.

Strength and Conditioning:
Molloy University employs a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) on a part time basis. Each team, with approval from their Head Coach, will have access to the CSCS at various points throughout their season. Schedules will be made by the Associate AD for Sports Medicine, Head Coach, and the CSCS. Participation is reserved for full team rosters only; individual training sessions are not sponsored by the Department of Athletics. The CSCS is also available to student-athletes during the academic year for weekly open training sessions in our Gymnasium and Fitness Center on a schedule determined by the Department of Athletics. All Molloy student-athletes and coaches are encouraged to attend during these sessions.

Rules:

• Student-athletes must allow reasonable time for all Athletic Training needs. Services are conducted on first come-first serve basis; in-season athletes have priority. The Athletic Training Facility cannot be used as an excuse for lateness to any team activities or classes.
• Medical care will only be conducted with approval from the Sports Medicine Staff, and should be continued until the Sports Medicine Staff determines so. No student-athlete is to use Athletic Training Facility equipment without supervision.
• The Athletic Training Facility is a co-ed facility; student-athletes should dress appropriately with athletic tops, shorts and sneakers, preferably team issued. Student-athletes are not permitted to change in the Athletic Training Facility for any reason.
• No cleats, equipment, bags, food, or tobacco products are permitted at any time.
• Student-athletes are expected to act in a respectful manner towards the Sports Medicine Staff, other student-athletes, and coaches, at all times. Foul or abusive language is not tolerated and will be grounds for removal.
• Athletic Training Facility phones and computers are not to be used by student-athletes at any time.
• The Athletic Training Facility is a medical office, not a social lounge or locker room! Those who do not need medical care will be asked to leave.

Failure to adhere to any of the above rules will result in notification to the appropriate Head Coach and Director of Athletics.
