Health & Safety in Sports

Concordia is a unique institution as it places a high level of care into student health and safety.  This is shown through the employment of the Athletic Trainer.  Athletic trainers are educated in prevention, evaluation, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries and illnesses.  Athletic trainers are also very skilled in emergency situation management. 

Our athletic trainer is here as a resource for the high school athletes, coaches, parents, and all faculty of Concordia.  One of the most important functions of the athletic trainer is to work closely with coaches to help balance maximal participation while also ensuring an athlete's safety.  This is done by helping coaches with modifications to the athletes’ training plan based on each athlete’s needs.  Our current athletic trainer has experience from professional sports to community youth programs.   

Other functions that athletic trainers perform include being the first point of contact for mental health concerns in athletes.  Guiding students through educational initiatives about injuries, nutrition, sleep, hydration, and more.  To contact the athletic trainer please email joseph.hebert@concordiashanghai.org.

Sports Academies

Concordia proudly offers additional opportunities for student athletes to work on skills and game strategy through partnerships with several local sports academies.  Each of these academies and coaches go through an extensive background check prior to being permitted on campus to work with our students.  

Our academy partners are able to offer elementary aged and high school students the opportunity to learn and grow more in their chosen sport, for a fee.  Our partners offer a variety of times that fit within most families schedules.  Academy training occurs in the morning, evening, and weekends.  Academies also offer intensive skill camps during select holidays and summer months.  

Each of these academies have at least one technical coach who works with the varsity and junior varsity teams, supporting our coaching staffs.

Athletic Facilities

Here at Concordia we take great pride in offering exceptional facilities that rival those found at both high school and the college levels.

We have four outstanding gymnasiums.  We offer plenty of seating for Phoenix fans to come out to watch games in person.  For those fans that cannot attend in person the high school and Phoenix Center gyms are equipped to live stream all of our varsity and junior varsity gym sports when we play full court games. 

If you are a football fan, then get excited for our FIFA Two-Star rated football pitch.  Other outdoor facilities that we offer includes an outdoor track and lighted tennis courts.  Our track and tennis courts are available for use by our Phoenix Community at specific times.

To best prepare athletes to compete at the highest level we offer a weight room like no other in the City of Shanghai.  We have a variety of free weight, weighted machines, and cardio equipment.  Through our strength and conditioning program we are able to help our high school athletes prepare for strong competition in our various competitive leagues. 

Finally, Concordia is partnered with the local Ambassy Club of Pudong to be able to offer an outstanding pool facility.  This facility plays host to both our competitive aquatics teams to our physical education programs.
