The Liberty University Athletic Training Staff, in conjunction with the team physicians make up the Liberty University Sports Medicine Network. This group works toward the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries.
The Athletic Training staff includes eight full-time Certified Athletic Trainers (ATC). These staff members work from five functional athletic training rooms. This allows the Liberty University Sport Medicine Network to provide optimal medical care for the athlete’s medical needs. The capstone of the Sports Medicine facilities is the 3,200 square foot Football Training Room located in the Football Operations Center. This facility includes two plunge pools, a Hydro Works underwater treadmill and a doctor’s exam room. The other training rooms are located at the Vines Center (basketball, volleyball), the field house at Williams Stadium (track, cross country, soccer, tennis, golf, cheerleading, women’s soccer, and softball), and the Crowder-Muckel Field house.
