If your daughter is injured or ill and sees a physician (MD/DO), it is required that a written note from her treating physician be submitted to the athletic trainer prior to returning to athletic participation. Please have the attending physician complete the Physician Referral Form. If it is not possible to complete the form, please have your physician write a note providing similar information before leaving the office.

Per CIF bylaws and California legislation, student-athletes must return gradually over a minimum of seven days from the date of diagnosis once they are symptom-free.

For more information about concussions, return-to-learn and return-to-play policies, please review the Presentation Concussion Packet. For more information, review the concussion materials below.

All contests held on Presentation's campus will have drinking water available on the sideline, as well as access to ice in the event of an injury.

The athletic trainer will be available to assist and treat injured athletes during home contests. However, if multiple events are held concurrently, the trainer will be present at the sport deemed to have the highest risk of injury. If the athletic trainer is not present at the time of an injury, she may be summoned via the walkie-talkie at each facility. Please ask any Presentation coach for assistance with walkie-talkies.

If you have an athlete who requires taping, wrapping or other treatment prior to a game at Presentation, please alert the athletic trainer in advance. Please bring the required materials needed (e.g. tape, compression wraps, etc.).
