New Athletic Training Facilities

It's that time of year again, when LSU's sports' seasons all begin to take off. This year, LSU Athletic Training has built new Volleyball and Softball athletic training rooms. These new additions have made the start of the season not only more efficient but more benefical to the student-athletes and their overall health.

The Volleyball Athletic Training Room, located in the southwest corridor of the PMAC, is home to the LSU Volleyball team. It is used for daily treatments and rehabilitations. When asked about this new addition, current Volleyball GA Scott Campbell, ATC said, "The Athletic Departments continued contributions and devotion to the Volleyball Athletic Training Room will help with the recruiting, convenience, and health of current and future LSU Volleyball athletes." This facility is equipped with treatment tables, rehabilitation equipment, and cardiovascular equipment.

LSU's Softball Athletic Training Room is the newest addition to Tiger Park Stadium. Staff Athletic Trainer, Ana Couture, MS, ATC, said," I am so pleased with the Athletic Department's support in building the new Softball Athletic Training Room. It means a lot to the program and it will help both in the recruiting process and elevating the standard care for our female student athletes." This facility over 1000 square feet and is fully equipped with treatment tables, therapeutic modalities, whirlpools, rehabilitation stations, and cardiovascular equipment.
