Athletic Training Goals and Philosophy
The goal of the athletic training staff at Genesee Community College is to provide high quality comprehensive sports medicine care for all sports-related injuries and illnesses. We are committed to the health and well-being of the student-athletes, and this commitment is achieved by consistently seeking the best way to deliver quality health care to each student-athlete.
Athletic Training Facilities
There are two Athletic Training Facilities at Genesee Community College. One located inside the Main Campus Building and another located inside the Richard C. Call Arena.
Main Campus Building Athletic Training Facility: located off the northwest corner of the Anthony T. Zambito Gymnasium, room number A143
RCC Building Athletic Training Facility: located within the Richard C. Call Athletic Building, on southwest corner of building, room number H120
The following treatment modalities are available; ice, heat, whirlpool, electrical muscle stimulation, and ultrasound.
Athletic Training Facility Hours
Athletic Training hours are dependent on the number of sports in season, competition and practice schedules, and the availability of the athletic training staff. Generally, the athletic training room will be open 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Friday and two hours prior to a home event. The athletic training room will also be open post-game as needed. Hours on the weekend (Saturday-Sunday) will vary depending on practice and competition schedules.
Pre-Participation Physical Exam/ Medical Forms
As required by the NJCAA every student-athlete MUST receive an annual physical exam in order to try-out for a team or participate in a practice session at Genesee Community College.
It is the responsibility of the Genesee Community College Athletic Training staff to make sure every student-athlete who wants to participate in athletics has an up to date physical and that all pre-participation forms have been completed. If these forms are not filled out completely the student-athlete will NOT be allowed to try out or participate with a Genesee athletic team. Once all pre- participation forms including a paper copy of the physical form are submitted and approved by one of the Athletic Trainers, the student-athlete will be fully cleared to participate in tryouts or practices.
