Athletic Training
Dear New and Returning Cleary Student Athletes,
Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year and athletic seasons. We are excited to be returning to play this fall as we enter the tenth year of Cleary University Athletics. As you prepare for your upcoming season, the athletic department continues to make changes and improvements.
Cleary has three full time athletic trainers for the upcoming season. Leanne Nichols (Assistant Athletic Director for Sports Medicine) and Kyle Knapp (Assistant AT) bring years of experience and professionalism to Cleary. In addition, Cleary has partnered with Dr. Andrew Cunningham of IHA Brighton to serve as team physician. We are all excited to add experienced medical professionals that are passionate about Cleary athletics.
As we approach the start of the 2023-2024 season, MANDATORY paperwork and physicals must be completed by new and returning athletes prior to the first practice of their sport. All Cleary athletes are required to undergo an annual pre-participation physical exam prior to the start of their season. This exam includes a medical and orthopedic examination performed by a physician, evaluating the athlete’s baseline health for sports participation. Exams must be completed with Dr. Cunningham, physical dates will be set for the fall prior to the start of practices, for athletes returning after the assigned physical date on campus, appointments can be made through the athletic trainer to see the doctor in office. It is important to remember that the athlete must receive full clearance from the evaluating physician prior to participation in any workout, practice or game.
All required forms can be found on Cleary’s athletic website under the athletic training section.
