University of Wisconsin Parkside Athletics

The Athletic Training Staff at the University is pleased that your daughter/son will be participating in NCAA Division II Intercollegiate Athletics while at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.

The Athletic Training Staff consists of three Certified Athletic Trainers (ATC’s) licensed by the State of Wisconsin. The staff provides coverage for all home practices and events. ATC’s duties include prevention of injuries, assessment, treatment, rehabilitation, and consultation to all student-athletes.

UW-Parkside has a relationship with local physicians (one orthopedic surgeon and one general practitioner with sports medicine training) that assist with the care of our athletes. These physicians visit the athletic training room weekly for evaluations and referrals for student-athletes. Additionally, the physicians provide coverage for championship home events. Student-Athletes must be evaluated by an ATC prior to visiting with the physicians. The UW-Parkside Team physicians have the final say on the participation of an injured/ill student-athlete.

The NCAA requires a student-athlete to have a minimum coverage of $90,000.
