CHKD’s comprehensive Sports Medicine Program specializes in athletes from elementary school to college. Our team of orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine physicians, physical therapists, and certified athletic trainers works together to support the health and recovery of the whole athlete.

When injuries occur, families can count on timely evaluations and treatment with same or next-day appointments by calling the Sports Injury Hotline, 757-668-7529 (PLAY), Monday-Friday, between 7:30 a.m. and 10 p.m.

For after-hours or urgent concerns, CHKD’s Urgent Care centers and Emergency Department collaborate closely with the Sports Medicine Program to ensure athletes receive the right care at the right time.
