Any serious injuries or medical conditions will be priority treated by the tournament medical staff.
First Aid & injury medics will be onsite from 8.00am each morning to 5.30pm each evening.
Therapy, Massage, Strapping and ongoing (chronic) injury management:
Ultimate at the elite level is physically rigorous and it is possible that many members of each team will require some medical or therapeutic attention during the tournament.
Massage and sports therapists will be onsite and available to provide treatment from 8.00am each morning until 5.30pm each evening.
To guarantee the best service all teams are strongly encouraged to bring their own dedicated medical/massage/trainer staff with them. These staff should be suitably qualified and experienced to deliver the appropriate minor injury treatment, ongoing injury management and strapping/training services needed to keep the running. For teams that are unable to bring dedicated training staff from their home nation the tournament WILL provide some massage and sports-trainer services which will be available for players to use on a first-come-first-served and user-pays basis. More details (including rates) for these services will be published as the supply and service model is finalised.
