Athletic Training
The vision of the VCS Athletic Training Program is to create the safest environment for athletes through excellent service and bring inspiration to future students in the medical field.
In conjunction with our school’s mission, the athletic training team at VCS provides a program founded on practicing sports medicine with the highest quality care possible in a professional, compassionate, and service-oriented manner. The primary objective of our Certified Athletic Trainers is to ensure the health and safety of our student-athletes participating in sports. To do so, we work in collaboration with the athletic department, school nurse, physical therapists, physicians, and other healthcare professionals. The Athletic Training team offers services from prevention, clinical evaluation and diagnosis, immediate and emergency care, treatment and rehabilitation, organization, professional health, and well-being. We also provide unique services such as on-campus pre-participation sports examinations and specialty referrals.
As a clinical site for the California State University, Northridge Athletic Training Educational Program (CSUN ATEP), VCS provides a hands-on experience for college students.

High school athletic training students are provided the opportunity to have on-field and clinic experience under the supervision of our Certified Athletic Trainers.

Sports Physicals
Any students planning to participate in athletics in the 2020-2021 or 2021-2022 school year will need to follow the process for athletic clearance below.
1) Register on athleticclearance.com for the corresponding academic year.
2) Upload the sports physical form on athleticclearance.com or turn in your physical examination form to the athletics department.
A physical form must be submitted. The form must be signed and dated by the physician. No physicals performed and signed by a Chiropractor will be accepted.Once you obtain the completed physical, you will need to upload it to www.athleticclearance.com or turn it in to Michelle Rodriguez in the athletics department. Upon review, you will receive an email stating the clearance status of your son/daughter to participate in athletic practices and games.
Multiple Sports
Once you complete a clearance for one sport, most of the information you
have entered will be retained in the system. To register for an additional
sport, select New Clearance and after you enter the year, school, and
sport most of your information will auto fill.
It is a good idea to request clearance for all sports you might want to
play so you don't have to wait for clearance later in the year.
