 Athletic Trainers supervise and administer the services of
prevention, recognition, management, and rehabilitation of injuries
sustained by student-athletes. We are responsible for all instances
that affect the health and welfare of the collegiate
student-athlete, as well as manage the complete health and safety
needs of the collegiate student-athlete. This includes,
participation, conditioning, protective equipment, nutritional
concerns, and maintenance of safe playing fields and facilities.
Athletic Training is an allied medical profession. Lion Athletics is
proud to have a close working affiliation with The North Alabama
Bone & Joint Clinic. The University of North Alabama student-athlete
is treated at the clinic promptly and with focused attention.
The Athletic Training Facility is
open, for all sports, as long as there is a staff member present.
Treatment times are scheduled for 6:30a.m. 8:00a.m., 12:30p.m.
3:00p.m.and 5:00p.m. 6:00p.m.during the fall semester. During the
spring semester, treatment times are from 7:00a.m. - 8:00a.m.and
