<strong>Centenary</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Louisiana</strong><br />

Athletic Training<br />

Dear Athletes and Parent/Guardian,<br />

<strong>Centenary</strong> <strong>College</strong> is pleased to have you join us as a participant in the Ladies and Gents<br />

athletic program. <strong>Centenary</strong> <strong>College</strong> is concerned with the health and well-being <strong>of</strong> all <strong>of</strong><br />

our <strong>athlete</strong>s. The Athletic Training Staff is responsible for the supervision <strong>of</strong> health care<br />

for all <strong>athlete</strong>s, including prevention, evaluation, treatment, and rehabilitation <strong>of</strong> injuries<br />

sustained during intercollegiate practices and games.<br />

When a <strong>student</strong> <strong>athlete</strong> is injured during a practice or game, they are evaluated by the<br />

Athletic Training Staff. Initial treatment is administered and, if necessary, the <strong>athlete</strong> is<br />

referred to a family practitioner, orthopedic surgeon, or other medical personnel. Athletes<br />

desiring medical attention other than that provided by <strong>Centenary</strong> <strong>College</strong> Athletic<br />

Training Staff for injuries directly related to sponsored practice or competition may do so<br />

with clearance from the attending Athletic Trainer (and their Parent/Guardian if under 18<br />

years <strong>of</strong> age).<br />

Injuries or medical conditions not related to Coach sanctioned, in-season practice or<br />

competition are the responsibility <strong>of</strong> the <strong>student</strong> <strong>athlete</strong> or family. General illness,<br />

<strong>physical</strong> education classes, or injuries that occur outside <strong>of</strong> the <strong>student</strong> <strong>athlete</strong>’s sport are<br />

the <strong>student</strong> <strong>athlete</strong>’s responsibility. The <strong>student</strong> <strong>athlete</strong> may, and is encouraged to receive<br />

medical care through the attending Athletic Trainer, but is still responsible for any<br />

medical expenses incurred.<br />

Each form in this packet includes instructions and information specific to each<br />

form. All <strong>forms</strong> must be fully completed and returned no later than ten (10) days<br />

prior to the start <strong>of</strong> the fall semester. Athletes will not be allowed to practice or<br />

participate in sports activities until all <strong>of</strong> the enclosed paperwork is returned and<br />

insurance coverage has been verified by the <strong>Centenary</strong> staff.<br />

NCAA Sickle Cell Trait Testing<br />

About Sickle Cell Trait<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Sickle cell trait is an inherited condition <strong>of</strong> the oxygen-carrying protein, hemoglobin, in the red blood cells. Sickle cell trait<br />

is a common condition- greater than three million Americans have Sickle Cell. Although Sickle cell trait is most<br />

predominant in African-Americans and those <strong>of</strong> Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Caribbean, and South and Central<br />

American ancestry, persons <strong>of</strong> all races and ancestry may test positive for the sickle cell trait.<br />

Sickle cell trait is usually benign, but during intense, sustained exercise, hypoxia (lack <strong>of</strong> oxygen) in the muscles may<br />

cause sickling <strong>of</strong> red blood cells (red blood cells changing from a normal disc shape to a crescent or “sickle” shape), which<br />

can accumulate in the bloodstream and “logjam” blood vessels, leading to collapse from the rapid breakdown <strong>of</strong> muscles<br />

starved <strong>of</strong> blood.<br />

Likely sickling settings include timed runs, all out exertion <strong>of</strong> any type for 2-3 continuous minutes without a rest period,<br />

intense drills and other spurts <strong>of</strong> exercise after prolonged conditioning exercises, and other extreme conditioning sessions.<br />

Common signs and symptoms <strong>of</strong> a sickle cell emergency include, but are not limited to: increased pain and weakness in the<br />

working muscles (especially the legs, buttocks, and/or low back); cramping type pain <strong>of</strong> muscles; s<strong>of</strong>t, flaccid muscle tone;<br />

and/or immediate symptoms with no early warning signs.<br />

Education and precautions can prevent sickle cell crises in <strong>athlete</strong>s with sickle cell trait. These include adjusting exercise<br />

for the environmental temperature, emphasizing hydration, controlling asthma, no exercise if a sickle trait <strong>athlete</strong> is ill and<br />

modifying exercise upon exposure to <strong>new</strong> altitude.<br />

No sickle trait <strong>athlete</strong> is ever disqualified form participating in sports.<br />

Sickle Cell Trait Testing Policy<br />

According to the NCAA Mandate for 2013-2014 Academic year and effective August 1, 2013, the <strong>student</strong>-<strong>athlete</strong> must select<br />

one <strong>of</strong> the following three options prior to participating in an athletic activity:<br />

_____Provide appropriate documentation <strong>of</strong> Sickle Cell Trait test results. The <strong>student</strong>-<strong>athlete</strong> or parent/guardian may<br />

obtain this documentation from their family physician/birth physician. (Use Sickle Cell Verification Form). If the <strong>student</strong><strong>athlete</strong><br />

is unable to obtain this information, a <strong>new</strong> blood screening may be necessary.<br />

_____Pending documentation is acceptable provided the <strong>student</strong>-<strong>athlete</strong> has taken the Sickle Cell Trait test, but has yet to<br />

receive the test results. This option requires that the <strong>student</strong>-<strong>athlete</strong> attend a mandatory educational class on the risks<br />

involved in Sickle Cell Trait and <strong>student</strong>-<strong>athlete</strong>s.<br />

_____ Declining to confirm the <strong>student</strong>-<strong>athlete</strong>s Sickle Cell Trait status and/or provide <strong>Centenary</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s Sports<br />

Medicine Staff with appropriate paperwork results. The <strong>student</strong>-<strong>athlete</strong> must understand by selecting this option he/she will<br />

participate in a mandatory education class approved only by the Sports Medicine Staff. Please read the statement below<br />

and sign accordingly.<br />

NOTE: ONLY SIGN BELOW IF THE THIRD OPTION IS SELCTED.<br />

I, ___________________________________________, hereby agree to attend a mandatory educational class in accordance with the<br />

NCAA Mandate for Sickle Cell Verification. I understand that by signing below I am aware that I am declining confirmation <strong>of</strong> my<br />

Sickle Cell Trait test status.<br />
