Reporting Injuries

It is imperative that ALL injuries at practices and games (home or away) get reported to the athletic trainer as soon as possible in order to ensure our student athletes receive proper treatment for their injury. Our athletic training room has many resources for treatment, rehabilitation, and recovery for athletic injuries. Because of our partnership with Penn Sports Medicine, Tara has direct access to a refferal system with Dr. John Vasudevan and team of some of the top sports medicine physicians in our area.

Whenever a student athlete seeks care from an outside physician for an athletic injury, that student athlete must submit a physician's note clearing them to fully return to play.

Physical Therapy and Rehab

Good Shepherd Penn Partners (GSPP) of Radnor are who we refer to for physical therapy. The group a team of sports physical therapists; either AT-PTs or have a sport certified.

Known as the EAP for short, the Emergency Action Plan gives coaches a detailed plan of what to do in an emergency situation, and how to handle said situation if the athletic trainer is not around. Each coach will be given an EAP at the coaches meeting at the beginning of every sports season. These will be updated annually. Below is a copy of Carroll's EAP.
