ATHLETIC TRAINING
The physical well-being of all La Lumiere School student-athletes and our guests is our priority.
Our goal is to provide the best medical care for a return to the classroom and athletic participation
in a thorough, timely, and safest manner possible. We provide services that include:
- Injury prevention
- Recognition
- Education
- Treatment
- Rehabilitation
These services will enable the athlete to maintain an optimal quality of life beyond their La Lumiere athletic career.
Supplemental healthcare providers include Athletic Training Students (interns), medical consultants, and sub-specialists. We are committed to the ongoing evaluation of our Athletic Training Department and its protocols, so our student-athletes can be assured of the highest quality of medical care.
