We check in with Northfield Hospital on a regular basis about their progress. Our goal is to have a permanent trainer hired as soon as possible. When an injury does occur, regardless of if we have a trainer on site or not, families can always make the decision to see their regular physician to support an injury. We will communicate with families to make good decisions on a course of action to return to play. We know that this is not ideal as NHS is one of numerous high schools that are challenged to hire a full time Athletic Trainer even though Northfield Hospital has been working tirelessly to find a qualified Athletic Trainer.Īs we move forward, if there are injuries to athletes, we will continue to do the best we can to ensure the athlete is able to receive the care needed on site. Hiring a qualified Athletic Trainer in the past has not been an issue but in the current market, qualified Athletic Trainers are extremely difficult to locate at both the high school and collegiate level. We contract with Northfield Hospital + Clinics for athletic training services. Our trainer will also make appointments with students after 5:00 pm Tuesday-Thursday, as needed. At this time we have training coverage at each varsity home event and in the training room after school each Monday and Friday. I wanted to share with everyone a brief update regarding our athletic training coverage.
