Day-to-day operating brief

What Academy Physio (Youth Academy) work looks like in practice

An academy physiotherapist manages injury and growth-related load for young athletes while coordinating coaches, parents, education and medical staff. Terms should cover safeguarding, consent, travel, match cover and separation of welfare decisions from selection pressure.

Rehabilitation planning should account for school commitments and changing physical maturity as well as fixture availability.

  • Assess academy injuries and agree rehabilitation plans.
  • Provide pitch-side and clinic support within competence.
  • Coordinate return-to-training decisions with club staff.
  • Maintain confidential age-appropriate clinical records.
