I also ask if their team has a doctor/trainer, and if so, that person's name. I have the coach point him/her out.
Before the game begins, I introduce myself to the doctor/trainer. I have found this to be very helpful on those few occasions when a player is seriously injured and I need to speak with the doctor/trainer on the field about the extent of the injury.
I also then know if a team does not have such a person, and can inform the other side's doctor/trainer that they will be called upon for both teams.
