Athletic Training Services
The training room will be staffed and open two hours prior to all athletic competitions. The training room will not be available for visiting teams at other times unless arrangements have been made with the UTPB trainer in advance of a team’s arrival.
Visiting teams can expect full use of the athletic training facilities and equipment before and after competitions. Taping stations and treatment tables are available along with a number of therapeutic modalities (moist heat packs, ice, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, and whirlpools).
If a visiting team does not have a certified/licensed athletic trainer with them, UTPB asks that prior notification of any needed treatments/taping be sent in the form of an e-mail or letter.
During competitions, visiting teams will be supplied with water, cups/water bottles, treatment ice and bags, and bench towels. Vacuum splints, AED, and other first-aid supplies will also be available when needed.
Visiting teams should contact our Head Athletic Trainer for assistance:
Pre-Competition Practices
If your team is planning a practice in advance of a competition, please arrange with the coach of your sport a minimum of two weeks in advance.
Coaches should be aware that our gymnasium is often used for non-athletic events and that conflicts may preclude practices from occurring on a desired date or time.
Sports Information Services
Statistics are supplied for all home events. Should there be any special requests, please contact our Sports Information Director.
