Hello Everyone!Welcome to Gray Stone Day School’s Sports Medicine website! My name is Andy Muccino, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , and I am GSDS’s Certified Athletic Trainer. I came to GSDS in January of 2009, moving from Palm Harbor, Florida with my wife, Jill, and daughters, Delaney and Norah. For the previous six years, I had been an athletic trainer with the Toronto Blue Jays of Major League Baseball. I had been assigned to teams located in Pulaski, VA (Appalachian League) Charleston, WV (South Atlantic League) Lansing, MI (Midwest League) before finishing my career in Dunedin, FL (Florida State League) garnering a Trainer of the Year Award before taking my place here with Gray Stone. As a Certified Athletic Trainer with the National Athletic Trainer’s Association (NATA), you must have graduated from an accredited University (Barry University, BS, 1996) and successfully completed the Board of Certification (BOC) exam. The NATA and BOC require all Certified Athletic Trainers complete 80 hours of Continuing Education every three years to maintain competency with current sports medicine trends, treatments, and evaluation mechanics. With regards to my position and responsibilities with Gray Stone Day School, I provide medical support to all student-athletes through game coverage, injury evaluation, rehabilitation, coordination with doctors, and training for staff and student assistants including American Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED. Along with the medical aspect of sports medicine, all insurance documentation and pre-participation physicals fall under my umbrella of responsibility; mandatory for all student-athletes prior to participating in any NCHSAA sanctioned sport. Thank you for taking the time to visit our Website, and I look forward to seeing you all out on the fields and courts of competition cheering on the Knights. Yours in Sports, Andrew J.
