The University of Richmond Athletics Department seeks to provide comprehensive athletic training services for its student-athletes, including preventative services, first aid, and physical rehabilitation. Prior to your arrival on campus, please take the time to share your medical history and insurance information. The information gathered, on both student athlete and guardian, is considered confidential. This information is part of the student-athlete's medical record, and will help expedite medical care the sports medicine staff will direct in the case of an illness or injury.

We ask that you take the time to read some information regarding University of Richmond Sports Medicine policies and procedures, drug/alcohol education and testing program, and insurance information.

The University of Richmond requires all incoming freshmen/transfer student-athletes to complete a pre-participation physical examination prior to the student-athlete being issued equipment, being permitted to attend any practice or strength and conditioning session, and/or competing in any intercollegiate athletic activities. The pre-participation physical examination MUST be administered by a University of Richmond Team Physician and/or his/her designee. Subsequent sports medicine screenings will follow on a yearly basis. This physical is provided at no cost to the student-athlete and does NOT take the place of the University of Richmond student health center's required physical.

In addition to the previously mentioned pre-participation physical, other requirements for participation include, but are not limited to:
