2020-2021 Visiting Team Information

Dear Fellow Athletic Trainer:
Welcome to Converse College, in Spartanburg, South Carolina. While you and your team are on our campus the athletic training facility, and all of our equipment, will be accessible to you. The athletic training facility is located on campus, outside of the gym in Weisiger. A certified athletic trainer will be available for all home events, and the athletic training facility will be accessible to you.
Due to Covid-19, there is no access to the athletic training facility for pregame preparation. A taping/treatment table will be provided outside the visiting team locker room for your use. Athletic training staff remains committed to providing normal sideline water (cooler, cups, injury ice/bags/wrap), though institutions are encouraged to bring individual water bottles.
If your team is traveling without a certified athletic trainer, please notify us prior to the event, so we can prepare to accommodate their needs. We require a letter/email from a certified athletic trainer detailing all tapings, bracing, etc.
Converse College Athletic Training will supply your team with:
  • 10 Gallon cooler of water
  • Cooler of ice, bags and flexi-wrap
  • Emergency equipment (splints/AED/crutches) will be on the home sideline

Covid-19 Visiting Team Protocol
COVID-19 Screenings per Conference Carolinas
All student-athletes and staff will undergo a COVID-19 screening prior to competition conducted by a member of the athletics training staff. This screening will include standardized symptom screens and an infrared, non-contact temperature check. Each institution agrees to provide documentation to its opponents of the individuals that have passed the COVID-19 screening and temperature check.
  1. Any individual that records a temperature of 100.4F or above will not be permitted to participate in the contest. Student-athletes and staff members who do not show symptoms, but record a temperature of 100.4F or above, have the option of a recheck using an oral thermometer. If the oral thermometer also records a temperature of 100.4F or above, the individual will not be permitted to participate in the contest. If the oral thermometer records a temperature below 100.4F, the individual will be permitted to participate.
  2. Any individual that exhibits any of the following symptoms will not be permitted to participate in the contest:
    1. Fever or chills
    2. Cough
    3. Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
    4. Fatigue
    5. Muscle or body aches
    6. New loss of taste or smell
    7. Headache
    8. Sore throat
    9. Congestion or runny nose
    10. Nausea or vomiting
    11. Diarrhea
  3. Host Institutions: COVID-19 screenings will be conducted by a member of the athletic training staff and will ideally be conducted 2-4 hours prior to competition.
  4. Visiting Institution:
    1. Travel WITHOUT an overnight stay prior to competition: COVID-19 screenings will be conducted by a member of the visiting team's athletic training staff PRIOR to departure to the host institution. If a student-athlete or staff member fails the screening or records a temperature of 100.4o F or above, the individual will not travel.
