The Sports Medicine Staff at the State University of New York at New Paltz would like to
welcome you to our campus for your upcoming competition. The following information
may be helpful to you and your teams upon arrival to New Paltz.
Services and Equipment Provided:
Board Certified/New York State Licensed Athletic Trainers are available at all of our home
intercollegiate events. There may also be athletic training students from the Marist Athletic
Training Education Program assigned to a staff member to aid in coverage of an event. We will
be available to tape your student-athletes and provide additional services, but we do ask that
your institution provide all necessary materials. Modalities such as ice and moist heat packs will
be available to your athletes. Electrical stimulation and ultrasound will be available provided detailed treatment instructions have been included.
If there are student-athletes that need to see the Athletic Trainers we ask that they be down in
the training at least two hours prior to the start of the competition. The Training Room will
also be open 30 minutes after the competition has ended.
**Please note that bench towels and water bottles will not be provided to any teams.
Cups will be available upon request.
Facilities:
We have one central athletic
training room and it is located
on the lower level of Elting
Gym in Room 103.

Event Management
Prior to Contest
We will have a representative from the Athletic Department greet you at the front entrance to
the Athletic and Wellness Center. They will escort you to the main locker rooms as well as
show your teams where our Athletic Training room is located. They will also be able to
answer any questions you may have prior to the start of the contest.
Once your bus has dropped your team off at the Athletic and Wellness Center they may then
park in lot 37 (see campus map) which is located South of the Athletic and Wellness Center.
The only sports that we will allow the bus to sit outside of the Athletic and Wellness Center
are Men’s and Women’s Soccer. We do this because the teams will need to get back on the
bus to go down to the field. However, we do ask that the driver turn off the engine while
he/she waits for the soccer teams to return to the bus.
After Contest
Teams will also be allowed back into the locker rooms to shower and to change if they so
choose. If visiting teams would like a space to sit down and eat in our Athletic and Wellness
Center, then that must be set up with Ryan Hooper (Event Manager, contact information
below) at least 72 hours in advance. Any other special requests must also be made at least 72
hours in advance as well. We may not be able to accommodate all requests, but we will do
what we can within our means.
DVD of Game
Men’s Soccer, Women’s Soccer, Men’s Basketball, Women’s Basketball, Women’s Lacrosse and
Field Hockey (only if we are hosting the SUNYAC Championships) will be able to receive
copies of their game on DVD, this will be done in accordance with the SUNYAC video
exchange policies (SUNYAC teams only). With our new camera equipment we will now be
taping our games right into our computer and then onto the DVD. This takes a little more
time than in the past so the DVD of the game will be in the mail within 24 hours of the completion of the contest. Visiting teams are also allowed to bring their own camera equipment
to record the game.

Lightning Policy & Procedures
Criteria for Removal from Athletic Venue
The policy of SUNY New Paltz Sport Medicine with regards to the suspension/termination
of an athletic event, game and/or practice due to an electrical storm will be as follows:
A) The Director of Athletics (or administrator on duty), athletic training staff, head coaches
and officials shall begin to confer of the status of the event should any thunderstorm
“watches” or “warnings” be issued for the area or the warning signs of developing thunderstorms in the area, such as high winds or darkening skies, develop.
B) Should an electrical storm develop, the following procedure will be adhered to:
C) Athletic training staff will be updated via text message from iStrike weather tracking regarding distance of any lightening. The FLASH TO BANG method will be used secondarily to determine how close lightning is. To use this method, count the seconds from the
time the lightning is sighted to when the clap of thunder is heard. Divide this number by
five to obtain how far away (in miles) the lighting is occurring. A flash to bang count of
30 seconds (6 miles) or less should be used as a minimal determinant of when to remove
all individuals from the site and relocate to a safe shelter
D) In the event of an electoral storm, the safest shelters are those with indoor plumbing and
telephone lines. However, a car or bus with all windows closed will provide shelter if a
secure building is not accessible. Dugouts, locker rooms, shower rooms, and pool areas
are NOT safe shelters. Storage sheds should only be used in the event that the storm is
too severe to get safely into the following designated area:
1) Baseball/Softball Fields:
Athletic & Wellness Center or Elting Gym
2) Soccer Fields:
Esopus Hall, Lenape Hall, Athletic & Wellness
Center or Elting Gym
3) North Tennis Courts:
Athletic & Wellness Center or Elting Gym
4) Outdoor Track:
Athletic & Wellness Center or Elting Gym
5) Turf Field:
Athletic & Wellness Center or Elting Gym
6) Pool:
Athletic & Wellness Center or Elting Gym

Fire Policy & Procedures
If the Fire Alarm Sounds
If the fire alarm sounds, exit the building where the fire alarm is going off and move to a safe
location (150 feet away from the building). Since the Athletic & Wellness Center and Elting
Gym are two separate buildings you may move to the other building if it is safe and there is
not a fire detected in that building. A department representative will help you move to the
safest place for your team.
If in the Elting Gym Side (where locker rooms and team rooms are):
Your team should either move to the Athletic & Wellness Center, if it is safe, or to the nearest
fire exit and out of the building.
If in the Athletic & Wellness Side (where the Hawk Center is located):
Your team should either move to Elting Gym, if it is safe, or to the nearest fire exit and out
of the building.
Once the building is deemed safe and the alarm has been turned off then the teams will be
allowed to return to the building.
Our goal is to get everyone to a safe location as quickly and safely as we can.

Though space is limited, locker rooms and areas for team meetings are available in the Athletic
and Wellness Center. Each general locker room is equipped with lockers, bathrooms and
showers. We recommend that teams bring their equipment and other valuable items with
them after exiting the locker room.
If your team is arriving early and would like to schedule a practice time, please contact our
Director of Athletics, Stuart Robinson at [email protected] or (845) 257-3910 to make

Sportsmanship
As a member of The State University of New York Athletic Conference, New Paltz is committed
to sportsmanship. We take pride in the conduct of our student-athletes and coaches and ask that
everyone treat opponents, officials and fans with respect. Tobacco products and alcoholic
beverages are strictly prohibited at all of our athletic events and in our facilities. The use of
artificial noise makers are also prohibited during athletic contests.
