The Athletic Training Department at Crete-Monee High School is dedicated to the care and prevention of athletic injuries sustained on and off the field. An athletic trainer (ATC) has specialized training in 5 areas:
- Prevention of athletic injuries: This includes taping, bracing, stretching, heat, and all other pre-practice treatments.
- Recognition, evaluation, and immediate care of athletic injuries. This includes game/event coverage, on- and off- the field evaluations, and referrals.
- Rehabilitation and reconditioning of athletic injuries. We will work with athletes and get them back on the field following an injury.
- Health care administration
- Professional development
The athletic trainer works in conjunction with the athletic director and all of the coaches to keep the athletes safe during sport participation. If an athlete is injured, the athletic trainer will provide proper and immediate care and will contact a parent/guardian. Referral to a doctor will also be made if necessary.
