When a Springfield College Team Travels to Host School/Site

* When our team arrives at your campus, the student-athletes that need assistance will check in with the host AT. Each team will come prepared with the athletic training supplies needed. The head coach will have each athlete's emergency information. Teams that travel with an AT are Football and Men's Lacrosse. We will contact the host athletic trainers 24 hours in advance of the contest to inform them about the needs of our team traveling to their school.

The Springfield College Athletic Training staff thanks you in advance for providing athletic training services to our teams.
