Q: Can IPC tape my ankle prior to my game?

A: Yes, IPC is able to provide preventative taping. In order to ensure there is enough time to be tapped prior to your game, please arrive at the IPC Clinic (located next to the Conditioning Room) at least 30 minutes prior to your game.

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, please call 911 or head to the nearest urgent care
