Welcome to the Delaware Valley College Athletic Training Department.

Important Information:


Mission Statement:

The Delaware Valley College Athletic Training Staff delivers traditional athletic training and sports medicine services to the student athletes of DVC. The services to be delivered can be broken down into five areas: injury prevention (screening, taping, bracing, padding), injury recognition and evaluation, injury management/treatment and disposition (emergency care, referrals), rehabilitation, and education and counseling.

The purpose of the athletic training staff is fourfold. First, we desire to allow efficient access to athletic training services to the student’s athletes. Second, we hope to encourage a philosophy of sport that places a high value on health and wellness. Third, we hope to enable injured athletes to return to their sport as soon as medically safe. Finally, we hope to substantially reduce the risk of athletic injury the athletes at DVC.

All members of the DVC Athletic Training Staff engages in the treatment and disposition of student intercollegiate athletes are fully responsible to the team physician with respect to any and all matters which involve the health and welfare of the student athlete.

Each student-athlete must receive a physical from his or her primary physician prior to each season at Delaware Valley College. They must also provide the Athletic Training Room with a copy of his or her insurance card (front and back) and a completed Insurance Verification Form.
