5. Rehabilitation: Nearly all athletic injuries require some form of rehabilitation. It is the athlete's responsibility to follow through with any such program assigned to him/her by the Doctor or Certified Athletic Trainer.
6. Insurance: the parent/guardian’s health insurance carrier should first pay injuries requiring hospital treatment or doctor’s care. Any bills for acute injuries not covered by the family's insurance can be submitted through the school's secondary insurance plan. In order to process the secondary insurance claim, parents are asked to contact the school's Business Office shortly after the initial injury. All claims must be completed and filed within 30 days of the initial injury.
General Team Rules

2. Student athletes must conform to the grooming policies prior to the fall sports picture day through the end of the spring sports season. These policies are outlined beginning on pg. 46 of this handbook. This includes any practice, scrimmage or contest at any date during this time period, including weekends and non-school days (i.e. Christmas break, spring break, etc.)
Facilities
Students are allowed the use of the gym, wrestling or weight rooms only if a member of the faculty or coach is present in the room the entire time the students are using the facilities. Students playing anywhere on the gym floor must wear athletic shoes.
Padua students, with the permission of the Athletic Director, may use the athletic fields.
Equipment
Each player is personally responsible for all equipment issued to him/her. This equipment is to be handled with proper care. Damaged equipment should be reported immediately to the head coach. All equipment issued must be returned promptly at the end of the season. A player failing to do this will not be issued any awards or letters until the equipment is returned and will be charged for the missing equipment unless returned to the AD office. An athlete from any Padua athletic team who steals, destroys, or intentionally damages property or equipment at Padua, home, or another school’s facility may be immediately dismissed from the team.
Intramurals
Padua offers intramural programs in a variety of sports and activities. Students are encouraged to sign up either as a player or a captain. Fun and good sportsmanship are the two main goals stressed in this program. All participants must have intramural permission/medical form signed and returned before participation will be permitted.
Locker Rooms
The entrance to the boys' locker room is located at the northwest corner of the gymnasium wing; this locker room may be entered through the gymnasium or directly from the parking lot.
The entrance to the girls' locker room is located in the basement corridor east of the kitchen; this locker room may be entered from the northeast end of the cafeteria (or gymnasium) or from the east parking lot.
