Dear Visiting Athletic Team and/or Athletic Trainer:
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome you and your team to Ribault High School. We look forward to making your visit a pleasant and enjoyable one.
Athletic Training Room: The outdoor Athletic Training room is located in Ribault's Field House, adjacent to both baseball/softball and football field fields and the tennis courts. As with the indoor facility if the team is traveling without an Athletic Trainer, our staff will be able to provide all pre-game taping and treatment. Prior notification should be given by the visiting teams' athletic trainer in advance if the team is not traveling with an athletic trainer. Taping will be performed ONLY if the visiting team supplies the tape.
Rules of Indoor/Outdoor Facility: Each facility is equipped with at least one treatment/taping table. If the visiting team is not traveling with an Athletic Trainer, and would like to get taped, they must report to the Outdoor Facility (Main Athletic Training Room) at least one hour prior to their game or competition. Ribault's Athletic Trainer will not go to the Facility Room for pre-game treatments or taping for visiting teams during warm-ups or conditioning prior to the game starting, unless visiting team shows up late to the game.
Supplies: Water, ice, and cups will be provided on the sideline for indoor games or events. For outdoor games and events, visiting teams MUST travel with coolers and cups/bottles. Visiting teams are allowed to fill coolers with ice and/or water (in Outdoor Athletic Training Facility) approximately ONE hour prior to games or events starting. Emergency supplies can be obtained from the Athletic Trainer covering the event.
Ambulance Service: Ribault Athletic Department has a private ambulance contracted for every home game for JV/Varsity Football events. In case of transport, Liberty Ambulance service will most likely transport visiting athletes and coaches to UF Health (Shands) Hospital because its closest hospital to our school and trauma level one center. In case of an emergency and/or transport at any HOME event that ISN'T football at Ribault, the Athletic Trainer or Coach will call 911 and Jacksonville Fire Rescue Department will respond in response of an emergency. Visiting spectators will be transported by Ambulance Service, if he/she is the student athletes parent or legal gaurdian. In case that parent or legal gaurdian is NOT present, coaching staff is responsible for sending a coach, assistant coach, or administrator with the athlete to the hospital due to the liability of the athlete.
Physicians: Our team physician or substitute physician will be present at all HOME football games.
Once again, we welcome you to Jean Ribault High School. If you have any further questions or if we may assist you in any way please contact us.
Sincerely,
Jean Ribault Athletic Training Department
