Connecticut College is committed to the development of a safe intercollegiate athletics program by protecting the health and well being of its student-athletes, as well as by providing a safe sport environment. The NCAA Sports Medicine Handbook developed by the NCAA Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports and the National Athletic Trainers Association’s Policy Statements are used as a guide in establishing recommendations and procedures for preventing and managing athletic related injuries at Connecticut College.
