Sports Medicine

On behalf of the Wellesley College Sports Medicine Department, we would like to personally welcome you and your team to our campus. Our goal is to provide you with any information, assistance, and support that you may need during your visit. If you have any questions or special needs, please do not hesitate to contact us in advance and view our web page at Sports-medicine/index.html .

Staffing

A certified athletic trainer will be present at all home contests with an athletic training aide to assist as needed. When multiple events are scheduled on campus, the athletic trainers will be present at the events where there is the highest risk of injury. Student athletic training aides may be present at the lower risk sports (golf, tennis), and will have direct contact with an Athletic Trainer (AT) at all times via radio and telephone.

Facilities
The Keohane Sports Center (adjacent to the Towne Field House) is our primary facility for all sports. In most cases, the athletic training room will be open 2 hours prior to the start of a contest. The athletic training room is located on the lower level and is equipped with treatment tables, taping tables, therapeutic modalities, whirlpools, rehab equipment, hydrocollator, and ice machine.

 

Services

If your team is traveling without an AT, please notify us ahead of time with any special assistance that you may need. We will be happy to assist your student-athletes provided that a fully stocked medical kit is sent with your team. In the event of an emergency or injury, we will provide crutches, immobilizers, and vacuum splints. An AED is also available through the athletic training department and the Campus Police. At games, your team will be provided with water, ice, cups, and ice bags. We do not provide towels or laundry service for visiting teams.
