Injuries While Competing
If an injury occurs while competing, seek assistance from the appropriate facility supervisor or field manager. If EMS is needed, notify the appropriate authorities.

For this reason, those Club members who have indicated that they are not currently covered by a medical insurance policy in their Membership Packet and/or DO NOT have a copy of their medical insurance card on file in the Sport Club Office will have short term insurance purchased for them by the Sport Club Office. The charge for this short-term coverage is $5 per day per person. This insurance will be covered by UT RecSports.
