Naval Academy Athletics

The profession of Athletic Training encompasses the prevention, diagnosis, and intervention of emergency, acute, and chronic medical conditions. The staff athletic trainers at the United States Naval Academy are health care professionals who hold Bachelor's and Master's degrees, are certified by a national board - the Board of Certification for the Athletic Trainer (BOC), and are licensed by the State of Maryland (Department of Health and Mental Hygiene Maryland Board of Physicians).

There are four principal athletic training rooms and six satellite facilities at the disposal of the Naval Academy staff. In addition, there are several fully staffed medical clinics on the grounds of the Naval Academy, including orthopaedic, dental, physical therapy, optometry, and general medical clinics.
