Athletic Training

Dear Student-Athlete and Family,

We are pleased to have you as a member of our athletic family at the University of Central Oklahoma. We hope you achieve academic, social and athletic success while attending at UCO.

The goal of the athletic training staff is to provide our student-athletes with quality and efficient medical care. To achieve this, communication and cooperation between team physicians, the athletic training staff, and the student-athlete and family is essential from the time of injury, through rehabilitation and return to participation. Your cooperation in facilitating this communication is especially important.

The Pre-Participation Packet has information you need to educate yourself on current UCO policies and procedures. Read these carefully and complete all forms enclosed. Listed below are a few of the many important items you will find included in your packet.

• EVERY STUDENT-ATHLETE IS REQUIRED TO CARRY PRIMARY INSURANCE. UCO provides secondary insurance at no cost. Read the Medical and Insurance Policy in full for a complete detailed description.

• Returning Student-Athletes: You may not need to have a pre-participation physical exam. Read the Returning Student-Athlete Medical History Update in the Pre-Participation Packet carefully to see if you are exempt.

• New Student-Athletes: The NCAA mandates that all student-athletes have a physical examination on file before any she/he can participate in practice or competition. The university requires the examination be performed by a UCO Team Physician. A date and time will be communicated to you by your coach and posted on the athletics website at www.bronchosports.com.

• All Student-Athletes: All athletic related care must be coordinated through the UCO Athletic Training Staff and the UCO Team Physicians Group in order to be eligible for the university’s secondary benefits.

Select the following category below that best describes you. Read and complete all forms. Return them to the athletic training staff on the date of your team physical or the first day you report.
