Information Regarding Physical Exams and Clearance for Participation

Adrian College's policy for athletes to participate in an intercollegiate sport requires that each student athlete have a completed and current physical, health history, athletic release, assumption of risk, and insurance on file in the athletic training office BEFORE you may begin practicing with your respective team.  The current forms are downloadable above (pre-participation paperwork) for your convenience. Please send them to

Athletic Training Department

Adrian College

110 S. Madison

Adrian, MI 49221

It is also REQUIRED that each student athlete have a primary insurance policy. Adrian College provides SECONDARY COVERAGE ONLY. If you do not have a primary insurance policy thru your parents, you must purchase a primary insurance policy individually. When doing this, PLEASE make sure it will cover intercollegiate athletics. (Please note our insurance link on the main athletic training page for additional insurance information and options)

In-Season Injuries/Illnesses (including non-traditional)

All injuries that occur should be reported to the athletic training staff as they occur.  The Certified Athletic Trainer will evaluate the injury and take appropriate action in regard to treatment or referral. If there is a situation where the ATC is not available then the athlete must notify them as soon as it is reasonably possible. Adrian College provides secondary insurance coverage for athletic injuries resulting from accidents that occur during competition and supervised practice. Failure to notify the Athletic Training staff prior to seeking medical care will void the Adrian College insurance coverage. The student athlete is ultimately responsible for ALL medical bills. It is critical that any information requested by Adrian College, First Agency, or any provider of medical services, be provided immediately upon request. Incomplete information or failure to provide the requested information may cause delays in payment and could have a negative effect upon the student athlete's credit rating.

Out of Season Injuries/Illnesses

Student athletes are not required to check with the athletic training staff prior to receiving treatment for an injury or illness. However, the training room and its services are still available for use during the academic year, please note that in-season athletes will receive treatment before out of season athletes.  During out of season competition or practice the student athlete is responsible for any and all costs incurred in the treatment of injuries and illnesses.
