Rochester Century High School Athletics

If your athlete needs to be seen for an athletic injury, they should see me first. After seeing/talking to me, please call Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine at 507-266-9100 to make appointments. I am also able to help in making these appointments as well.

When your son or daughter is seen by a health care provider other than myself, they will need to bring a note and give it to me prior to return to play.

Mayo Clinic Orthopedics and Sports Medicine will be conducting pre-participation sports physicals on Saturday, July 30, between 8 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. at our Dan Abraham Healthy Living Center facility.

• This will be by scheduled appointments only.
• Athletes or parents need to follow this link or QR code to complete a pre-scheduling form. 
  Once the pre-scheduling form is submitted, they will be called in 2-3 business days to schedule the sports physical in Sports Medicine.

• There are three timeframes parents may choose to be called to schedule the appointment which include: 7 a.m. to noon, or noon to 4 p.m., or 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. If we are unable to reach them via phone at their requested time, we will send an email or Patient Online Services message.
• Cost will $20 by cash or check only, payable at check-in on July 30.

• Free Heart Health Exam
  Mayo Clinic Research is offering a free Electrocardiogram or ECG for all sports physical participants.  By choosing yes on the pre-scheduling webform, research staff will contact the parents regarding permission for your child to participate in the study. We anticipate this station of the PPE will add about 5 minutes.

Within RPS we will be following the Rochester Public School's and MSHSL guideline for return to play after being COVID positive. If an athlete had to quarantine due to COVID, but was not positive themselves, they do not have to follow the protocol. The link below will bring you to the protocol, along with the doctors note to bring to their appointment when necessary. 

I hope to not have to talk to anyone about this, but if I do, we will go over it in detail together with parent and athlete. 

Attached documents are what I have used to help guide me how to set up my training room rules while we navigate how to participate in sports with COVID-19.

• All athletes receiving treatment must sign in. This does include simply getting ice.
  • Signing in determines order of me helping you. You do not sign in, I am not aware that you need my help.
• Order  of operation
  • Those playing in a game
  • Practice
  • Rehab
  • Evaluations
• If you make a mess, please clean up after yourself
• No shoes on taping tables or treatment tables
• No cleats or outside shoes in the training room
• Please do not take anything out of the training room without asking for permission first
  • If you do get approval to take equipment out of the room, please return it
• No photos or videos can be taken in the training room. That includes snap chat or whatever crazy things you kids have these days
• No profanity, derogatory/abusive or disrespectful language allowed
• If an athlete is not able to follow these rules they will be asked to leave and their coach will be informed
