department of athletics policies & procedures - UNC Wilmington ...

Summer Coverage Hours Policy
PURPOSE: Due to the cyclical nature of collegiate athletics and in the interest of having
a quality of life for the Department of Athletic Training Staff outside of the athletic
training room, the Department of Athletic Training does not require it’s full time staff to
operate the athletic training venues for the same schedule they are open during the
academic year.
POLICY STATEMENT: Hours of operation during the summer months will be 10 AM
to 5 PM Monday – Thursday and 8 AM to 11:30 AM on Friday. Weekend hours will be
scheduled if/when necessary, by appointment only. Summer hours begin on the Monday
following Spring Commencement and end one week prior to the beginning of the Fall
Semester. During this time frame, it is expected that all full time staff will equally share
the coverage of the facilities. The working day will be split into two shifts, the morning
(AM) shift going from 10AM to 1:30PM, with the evening (PM) shift going from
1:30PM to 5PM. These shifts may be worked at the convenience of the staff with flexible
scheduling so as to allow for the working of summer camps and vacation.
Summer Camp Coverage Policy
PURPOSE: All summer athletic camps at UNCW are operated under the direction of
individuals for private entrepreneurial purposes. Facility and equipment usage is
contracted through the Athletic Training Department for a pre-established fee. Sports
medicine supplies, equipment, and venues are the property of The University of North
Carolina Wilmington. Certified athletic trainers employed at UNCW may provide
consulting services for summer camps through one’s own personal interest and
responsibility.
Qualifications of Providers: Any individual operating a private summer camp must hire
a Certified Athletic Trainer to perform first aid, emergency and/or athletic training
services. Athletic training services are only allowed to be performed by a Nationally
Certified Athletic Trainer who also holds a current and valid North Carolina State
License to practice athletic training. Certified athletic trainers and any other individual
who holds proper credentials may be hired to perform first aid and emergency services at
summer camps.
Camp/Provider Liability: Any individual providing healthcare services for the purposes
of a summer camp does so at one’s own risk. UNCW is not responsible for the care
provided by privately contracted healthcare providers. Camp operators and healthcare
