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.
