Athletic Training
Welcome from Athletics
Archbishop Spalding High School’s Sports Medicine Department strives to keep student athletes safe, healthy and performing at their best. The Sports Medicine Department is composed of two athletic trainers who are certified, licensed health care professionals that specialize in the management, prevention, recognition, and recovery of injuries and illnesses. Spalding’s Sports Medicine Department’s mission is to support the student athletes’ overall health, well being, and long term athletic development throughout their high school athletic careers and beyond. Students may see Spalding’s athletic trainers daily in the athletic training room during school lunches (appointments only), after school and on the sidelines of all home games.
Athletic Training Policies:
Archbishop Spalding has access to an extensive network of quality sports medicine healthcare providers to refer to in a timely manner as needed. Dr. Jeffrey Mayer with MedStar Sports Medicine serves as Spalding’s team physician and works out of two convenient, local offices.
If an athlete sees an outside physician or goes to an urgent care/ER for any injury or illness, they must bring medical documentation to the athletic trainers to return to play. Documentation should include a diagnosis and specify whether there are any athletic restrictions or if the athlete is fully cleared to return. Spalding’s athletic trainers manage and supervise the return to play of all student-athletes after an injury/illness in collaboration with the treating healthcare providers. This process ensures Spalding’s athletes are fully recovered and able to return to play at their highest level.
