VISITING ATHLETIC TEAMS AND ATHLETIC TRAINERS
Athletic Services for Visiting Teams
Welcome to Penn State Behrend! Let us take this opportunity to assure you we will do everything possible to make your trip as safe and enjoyable as possible. Listed below is a summary of the services available to you from the Penn State Behrend Athletic Training Staff, during your visit.
Penn State Behrend has two Athletic Training Facilities located on campus. For all indoor events (Volleyball, Basketball, Swimming and Water Polo), the Athletic Training Room can be found in the lower level of the Junker Center. For all outdoor activities (tennis, baseball, softball, cross country and soccer), visiting teams should report to the Erie Hall Training room. There are visiting team locker rooms, for all outdoor events, located at Erie Hall. Upon your arrival at Erie Hall, you will be greeted by a member of the Athletic Training Staff and shown to your locker room(s). If you are in need of Athletic Training Services, please call us with a time for your arrival so that we can provide adequate services to your team(s).
Therapeutic modalities are available to Certified Athletic Trainers or athletic training students with a written prescription from a physician or ATC. The Athletic Training Room will be open a minimum of 1 hour prior to each scheduled contest. If you will be arriving earlier, or have any special needs, please contact us in advance so we can meet your needs.
If your team is traveling without an ATC or athletic training student, we will be happy to assist your athletes. Please provide taping supplies. Notify us in advance, if possible, so we can be better prepared to serve your athletes.
A Certified Athletic Trainer will be present at, or on call (within 2 minutes), at all scheduled contests.
Water and Ice bags will be provided on your sidelines / bench.
Emergency equipment will be available, should the need arise.
