Athletic Training
The goal of any successful sports program is to prioritize health and safety. As an extension of the Athletic Department, we bear the responsibility to provide our sports program with the utmost safety. NDCL has partnered with Precision Orthopaedic Specialties to provide student-athletes with the best care possible. NDCL has an Athletic Trainer available M-F from 2 p.m. until 5:30pm or the completion of the last sporting event.
Athletic Trainers are permitted to perform specific duties as per their standing orders. Our Athletic Trainers are responsible for withholding an athlete from play if they deem it medically necessary. Our Athletic Trainers may refer a student-athlete for a medical evaluation from a licensed physician for sports related injuries. If a physician has examined an athlete, they must hand our Athletic Trainers a written release stating whether or not the athlete has been released to return to practice or competition. All medical documentation for a student-athlete will be on file in the Athletic Trainers office.
Dr. Michael Kellis, D.O. and Dr. Jamie DelVecchio, D.O. are our team doctors. Dr. Jamie DelVecchio, D.O. will be available after school one a day a week to provide clinic services if requested.
The Athletic Training Room is reserved for injured athletes or those who need services. Student-athletes should inform their coaches and Athletic Trainers of all injuries as soon as possible.
Dr. Kellis and Dr. DelVecchio offers consultations at Precision Orthopaedic Specialties for student-athletes by appointment, or at the school designated clinic times (subject to change.)
**Student-athletes who see any doctor for any reason must have a note signed by the doctor before returning to sports activity.
INSURANCE
Student-athletes who are injured while participating in a supervised interscholastic sport must file through their personal insurance carrier. The OHSAA also provides member schools with catastrophic insurance protection.
