The University of Maryland Sports Medicine staff will be available to assist in providing the best possible medical care and attention to student-athletes from visiting teams. In preparation for your upcoming journey to College Park, the following information may be of some need to you. Athletic Training Services: The athletic training facility serving the sport will be open approximately two (2) hours before the game / contest and for approximately 45 minutes immediately after the game / contest. Each athletic training facility offers a variety of hot and cold modalities, along with hydrotherapy, electrical stimulation, and ultrasound. A University of Maryland certified athletic trainer will be on-site for all home athletic competitions. A physician will be in attendance for football, men's & women's basketball, men's & women's soccer, field hockey, wrestling, gymnastics, and men's & women's lacrosse games.
