Summer Workouts Policy
PURPOSE: Incoming freshman and transfer student-athletes may be brought to campus
over the summer for on site summer strength and conditioning workout sessions. In
keeping with the Department’s mission to assure the well being to the student-athlete,
the Department of Athletic Training requires that each student athlete have fulfilled
certain requirements prior to beginning training with the UNCW strength and
conditioning staff. This is necessary to screen student athletes for any conditions,
illnesses, or injuries that may adversely affect their training and/or overall health.
POLICY STATEMENT: In order for a student athlete to be permitted to begin summer
strength and conditioning workouts, he/she must meet the following criteria.
1. He/she must be enrolled in and accepted as a student at UNCW.
2. He/she must have signed a letter of intent for UNCW.
3. He/she must be registered with the NCAA clearing house and have completed
all the necessary compliance forms.

UNC Wilmington physicians.

Medical Recruitment History Policy
PURPOSE:
In an effort to assist the coaches in recruiting the finest student-athletes to UNCW, the
Athletic Training Department has designed a “Medical Recruitment Screening Form”.
The NCAA allows athletes who are being recruited by an institution to undergo a medical
screen by the Athletic Training Department while on a campus visit in accordance with
NCAA Bylaw 13.11.2.5. Completion of this form will assist the University of North
Carolina Wilmington in evaluating the current medical history of the potential recruit.
This is not a mandatory practice, however, any coach can request a member of the Sports
Medicine Staff to meet with a potential recruit and complete the form.
