Our athletic trainers are dedicated to maintaining the health of the Yellowjacket student athlete through many of the services listed above. We pride ourselves on working closely with the student athlete, parent, coaching staff, medical professional, and faculty in order to effectively provide efficient medical care to our Detroit Country Day School student athletes.
Since 1999, Detroit Country Day School has maintained a partnership with the Henry Ford Health System for support of our athletic trainers, coordination and staffing of our summer pre-participation physicals, assistance with injury prevention and health promotion programs, and facilitation of efficient sports medicine care for our student-athletes.
