Student Athlete Handbook

I first want to say how excited I am to be at MCC and in Marshalltown as a part of this Athletic Department. I look forward to getting to know each of you on an individual basis and working with each of you both on and off the field of competition. MCC has seen great success over the previous years in different arenas and I want to be able to build on these successes.

My goal is to maximize potential within the department. Maximize fundraising potential, to provide more scholarships, better gear and equipment, and other amenities that would help you maximize your potential on the field or court.  I commend our coaches and student athletes for their continued dedication in striving for greater success. We expect that you, our student-athletes will continue to strive to represent our college, our department and your team with the upmost respect, sportsmanship and pride while you pursue your athletic and academic goals.

I hope to have all of our teams recognized this year for their combined academic success by having team GPA’s over 3.00 for the academic year.  Push yourself to be your best on and off of the court or field and open up as many doors as you can for your future transfer to a four year institution.

The NJCAA LOI is a binding contract between Marshalltown Community College and the student athlete.  It is the responsibility of the coach to notify each student of renewal, non-renewal, increase/decrease and cancellation of the student athlete’s grant-in-aid.  All student athletes should have had this communication with their coach by the last day of the spring semester.

Athletic Training

The College is proud to offer athletic training services to our student athletes.  These services include education for prevention; recognition, evaluation and immediate care; rehabilitation and reconditioning and healthcare administration of athletic injuries. Our goal is to limit the amount of practice and game time missed due to irritating, lingering, or long term injury. It is the responsibility of the student athlete to commit to rigorous conditioning, fitness and strength training, and rehabilitation as prescribed by our staff, doctors, or consultants.  All injuries will be cared for under the guidance of our athletic trainer.  After injury, returning to practice or competition will require authorization from the athletic trainer or for injury referred to our doctors, a letter approving return to practice or competition will be required.  Coaches will not have the authority to determine whether a player is ready to return to practice or game competition. 

Physicals

It is athletic department policy to require a yearly physical examination for all student athletes. The physical examination must be completed by a physician, physician assistant, or an advance practice nurse licensed to practice in the United States. The physical exam must be on file with our athletic trainer before the student athlete may participate in any in season or offseason strength and conditioning program, practice or competition. 

Insurance

All student athletes are asked to provide a primary healthcare insurance policy that included benefits for intercollegiate athletic injuries.  The policy information card will be held in the athletic trainer and with each coach when their team travels, to ensure quick service if emergency help is needed when the team is traveling.

In the event that the student athlete sustains an injury as a direct result of his/her participation in an official team athletic activity (practice or game), coverage of medical expenses incurred will be processed in the following order:

            1. Student athlete’s primary policy (Check on in network and out of network benefits)

            2. Athletic department’s secondary insurance policy

            3. Catastrophic insurance policy (any expenses over $25,000)

Once the student athlete’s primary healthcare policy pays its portion, the athletic department’s secondary insurance will be filed. The athletic departments secondary insurance does not cover: illness of any sort, injuries occurred outside of official athletic participation, pre-existing injuries, eye exams, eye glasses, contacts, or dental work (unless as a direct result of an injury to a sound and natural tooth). It also does not cover any accidents that occur in the dorms or off campus. It is also important to note that even with primary and secondary coverage; all involved plans may not cover all cost. With this in mind the College or the College Athletic Department will not be responsible for any payment not covered by the applicable insurance policies. The student athlete is ultimately responsible for those charges incurred on their behalf. 

Marshalltown Community College

Athletic Training Program

Accident and Injury Procedures

All accidents or injuries to a student athlete should be reported to the athletic trainer immediately.  A quick response to a minor injury and proper care will prevent extended time away from the field or court for our athletes.  All injuries will need to be documented by our athletic trainer in order for the athlete to be cared for and for insurance to cover the care and rehabilitation of an accident or injury.

Medical Forms and Authorization Forms

All student athletes must complete all medial and authorization forms prior to participation in any intercollegiate strength and condition program, practice or competition in season or off season. The forms can be downloaded at

All student athletes participating in intercollegiate athletics at Marshalltown Community College are subject to institutional drug screening analyses on a year-round basis. All student-athletes must sign a testing consent form to permit testing for any or all of the substances that appear on the list of banned drug classes as determined by the NCAA , which list will be updated annually.   For the drug testing policy go to:
