The Argo Community High School Athletic Department has tried to make athletics at ACHS as safe as possible.   However, injuries do occur and sometimes they are of a serious nature.   Injuries that occur as a result of participation on ACHS Athletic teams should be reported as soon as possible to the Certified Athletic Trainers.   Injured athletes will be evaluated, treated, and appropriate follow-up will be suggested.   Injured athletes should report to the athletic training room daily for treatment and reconditioning.   The ATC's will work closely with the athlete's personal physician or Argo’s team physician to ensure a safe return to athletics.  We can also recommend medical specialist if desired.   We have developed an extended network of physicians with specialties in many varied disciplines.   Please be advised that if a physician suggests that an athlete NOT participate due to an injury for a given period of time, only that physician can clear the athlete for return to play.   Injured athletes will be given clearance for return to activity when all parties involved agree that the athlete may do so with minimal risk of further injury.    In the event of an injury, it is imperative that the athlete reports to the athletic training room for treatment.   Athletes will be given instructions for the care of the injury at home.   We ask that the parents assist with this injury care. It is the goal of any rehabilitation and reconditioning program to return the athlete to the same if not better condition than before the injury.

If you have questions, regarding the evaluation, treatment or prognoses of an injury please call one of the ATCs @ (708) 467-5522
