Expectations of the Student AideA student wishing to be a part of this program must read through this handbook and sign thecommitment along with a parent or guardian.Student aides are expected to commit to 3 days per week after school, during lunch or aSaturday. This must include at least one scheduled competition (exceptions may apply due toclass schedules). Saturdays are expected at least twice each month (as 1 of the 3 days/week). Asignup calendar is located on the student board in the athletic training room and schedules mustbe made at least one week in advance by the student aides on a first come first serve basis.Once monthly, mandatory meetings will be held for skills games/competitions as well aseducation. This time will be also be used for other necessary business (and most likely willinclude tasty treats.)There will be a CSL Student AT Aide Summit in late spring. This will include a knowledge bowlbetween participating high school programs and possibly a seminar or educational component.Student aides are expected to be on time after school on days committed, ten minutes after thebell, and will be dressed appropriately (see dress code policy) and ready to work in aprofessional manner. Student aides must stay until the end of practice (no later than 6:30pm)or the end of a game to which they have committed themselves. If a game lasts later than8:30pm, the student aide may be dismissed early.If a student is going to miss a commitment, they must call the certified athletic trainer before3:00pm (7:30am on Saturdays). The student must commit to an additional practice within oneweek. If no call is made, the student is unexcused and must commit to 2 additional practiceswithin the week.Academics will always come first. If a student aide is unable to maintain a minimum C grade inall classes, the student aide will be dismissed from athletic training for three weeks or untilgrades are improved.A student aide will be excused from athletic training commitment if they are an in-seasonathlete. During this time, the student will not be acting as a student aide and if they are in theathletic training room for personal reasons, they are not allowed to perform any athletictraining responsibilities.Student aides take part in the daily and weekly responsibilities and check them off the list on thestudent board.Student aides will complete the proficiencies included later in this handbook. Student aides willonly be allowed to practice these skills on athletes once they have been approved by thecertified athletic trainer.It is imperative that all treatment logs and injury reports are thorough and kept up to date.Occasionally, an ATC will oversee treatment performed by a student aide and the student aidemay complete the record entry. Student aides are not to modify any athlete’s treatment orrehab or do an initial evaluation on an athlete without a certified athletic trainer’s permission,instruction, AND this may only be done once the record keeping skill has been completed in theproficiencies packet.Student aides will abide by and enforce all Athletic Training Room rules and behave in aprofessional manner.

NATIONAL ATHLETIC TRAINERS’ ASSOCIATION:OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON PROPER SUPERVISION OF HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC TRAININGSTUDENT AIDESIntroduction:This Official Statement of the National Athletic Trainers’ Association provides supportand guidance to school administrators and athletic trainers in the education andsupervision of high school students enrolled in sports medicine courses or participating inhigh school athletic training programs. The goal of this statement is to continue to fostera positive, safe learning environment where students benefit from the instruction ofqualified health care professionals.Official Statement:The NATA recognizes that allowing high school students the opportunity to observe thedaily professional duties and responsibilities of an athletic trainer can be a valuableeducational experience. This unique experience may expose students to thefoundations of various health related careers as well as provide them with important lifeskills. Regardless of practice setting, it is understood that all athletic trainers must complywith their state practice act, BOC Standards of Practice when certified, and Code ofEthics when a member of NATA. These legal and ethical parameters apply whenincorporating student aides outside of the classroom and within the activities of athleticprograms.Student aides must be under the direct visual supervision of a licensed/certified athletictrainer when assisting with any athletic training services. Coaches and schooladministrators must not allow or expect student aides to act independently with regardsto the evaluation, assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of injuries. Additionally, it isparamount that student aides not be expected, asked or permitted to make “return toplay” decisions. Specifically, student aides must not engage in the following activities:(1) Interpreting referrals from other healthcare providers(2) Performing evaluations(3) Making decisions about treatments, procedures or activities(4) Planning patient care(5) Independently providing athletic training services during team travel.National Athletic Trainers’ Association 3/09/10

Supplies and Med KitsPart of the responsibility of the student aides is to help maintain fully stocked taping drawers and helpwith distributing travel med kits for each team. This is intended to help familiarize students with thedifferent types of medical supplies used in the athletic training room. Each student will also have a smallkit of their own to carry on the field and it is their responsibility to keep this stocked. A certified athletictrainer will go over these supplies with all students at the beginning of the year. Students may use thislist as a guide.TAPING DRAWERS 1 ½” linen tape 2” lightplast stretch 3” lightplast stretch 3” Elastikon ½” lightplast stretch STA tape adherent Heel and lace pads Pre-wrap SuperPro scissorsPERSONAL KIT Gloves Gauze Bandaid assortment, non-adherent pads Bacitracin foil packets Hydrogen peroxide Stiptik sticks (blood clotting agent) Mastisol (adhesive aid) Steri-strips Noseplugs Scissors Cotton tipped applicators 1 ½” linen tape 2 or 3” stretch tape Pre-wrap Sam Splint Ice bags (handy for multiple uses) Medium sized Ace wrap Purel or alcohol sanitizing wipesTRAVEL MED KITS Gloves Gauze Bandaid assortment, non-adherent pads Bacitracin foil packets Pre-wrap 1 ½” linen tape 2 or 3” stretch tape Noseplugs Purel or alcohol sanitizing wipes Small ace wrap Mouthguards (sport specific)
