Until freshmen arrive on campus I mean...It's that awesome time of year again when coaches get to finalize race entries for fall head race competitions and make sure that our athletes are compliant with both our medical training staff and the NCAA.Recruits and athletes please don't be surprised by the amount of paperwork you need to complete in order to be an intercollegiate varsity athlete. This list is by no means exhaustive but you need to complete the following items:
1. Medical history questionnaire
2. Cardiac screening with Dr. Carl Nissen who works with Trinity athletes (www.elitesportsmedecine.com)
3. Trinity Health Center physical completed
4. imPact concussion testing for all varsity athletes
5. NCAA waiver, compliance, and drug-testing forms
6. Regattacentral waiver (Head of the Housatonic, Head of the Schuykill)
7. Ronin Racing waiver (Head of the Riverfront, Head of the Charles)
8. Trinity Women's Rowing information card
Surprising isn't it? And when you consider that it can be a challenge to have 45+ athletes cooperate there is always somebody who needs to be chased down to do it. The consequences are large as you are not eligible to practice if you don't complete these requirements. First and foremost, we want you to have a safe and healthy experience participating and competing in Trinity Athletics.
