The staff trainers would like to take this opportunity to provide you with helpful information regarding the importance of your child s decision to be a student trainer. The purpose of the Athletic Training program is the care, management, and prevention of athletic related injuries. In addition to caring for athletes, the program is designed to provide a basis for any health profession that your son/daughter may be interested in as a career. The commitment from your child to the athletic training program is vital to its success. This means student trainer will be putting in long hours, especially during the fall football season. Once the fall football season is completed the remainder of the school year will not be as hectic, but student trainers will be expected to cover athletic events.

Students trainers are REQUIRED to be CPR, 1 st -Aid, and AED certified. 2. Student trainers will be working football practices, football and volleyball games during the fall season. Students are responsible for keeping track of game and practice schedules, and hours worked. Schedules will be posted 2 weeks in advance. A minimum of a 48-hour notice is required if the student trainer is unable to work scheduled games or daily practices. Exceptions are emergency situations. 3. Student trainers will be required to BE ON TIME for practices and/or games. Tardiness or failure to show will affect lettering at the end of the school year. 4.
