Athletic Training Services
Throughout the tournament we will have two certified athletic trainers on site at all times to tape ankles, offer ice and splints, or other athletic training needs. They will be located between courts 4 & 5. Our team will provide bands and foam rollers, so please do not take them from the fitness floor so that we can ensure our members still have access to them.
