Dear Visiting Athletic Trainer,
The University of California at San Diego Sports Medicine Staff would like to welcome you and your team(s) to our
facilities on your upcoming trip(s). We wish to make your visit here pleasant and as safe as possible.
Our athletic training room and team rooms are located in RIMAC Arena on the first floor. Our facilities will be open to you
and your student-athletes for necessary treatments and taping two hours before game time. If your team is not traveling
with an athletic trainer, please contact us as soon as possible so that appropriate arrangements can be made. When an
athletic trainer is not traveling, we ask that you send a medical kit with your team and provide a note detailing the
treatments for each student-athlete so that we treat your student-athletes appropriately.
Our facilities and staff can provide the following:

water, water bottles, cups, ice bags, sweat towels (indoor sports only), and a Biohazard kit, which will be provided
on the bench for each game

whirlpool, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and heating pads are also available in the athletic training room

emergency equipment and services are available

team physicians on call, except for basketball and soccer during which they will be present

a certified athletic trainer and athletic training students

shower towels (for indoor sports), UPON REQUEST at the beginning of the game, provided by the game
management staff
We will do our best to accommodate the rest of your needs.
Attached is a map of our campus, which shows the location of all of our venues (except golf and crew). Please refer to the
attached PDF file to cross reference as it is much more visually aesthetic. Additionally, here is a list of important names
and phone numbers. If you have any questions please feel free to call us.
