NATA Statement

The National Athletic Trainers’ Association is aware of the situation involving athletic training services at a secondary school sporting event. While we do not have visibility into all details, situations like this highlight an ongoing challenge in secondary school athletics: ensuring student-athletes are supported by consistent, well-structured health care systems.

Athletic trainers are highly trained health care professionals who play a critical role in injury prevention, emergency response and ongoing care. However, effective care depends on appropriate planning, training, clear policies and administrative support.

Student-athlete safety cannot rely on isolated event coverage alone. It requires comprehensive systems that support both the patient and the provider. NATA remains committed to advancing policies and practices that strengthen these systems and support the athletic trainers who lead them.

[Andy Renner, LAT, ATC, ESSAT-C @Renner79AT]

This is heartbreaking to see. ATs truly care, if only schools cared enough.

[Andy Renner, LAT, ATC, ESSAT-C @Renner79AT]

I stand in support with my fellow ATs

Thanks to @NATA1950 President AJ Duffy for proving his expertise. ⁦@MyPowersHealth⁩ @HeartlandSN @go4ellis ⁦@GLATA_updates⁩ ⁦⁦@robwax⁩

[NATA @NATA1950]

📢 Local schools are facing a growing need for more athletic trainers to support student athletes, and the reality is that many programs still do not have a full-time AT on site. This gap in care shows just how essential athletic trainers are to keeping young athletes healthy, safe and able to compete with confidence.

Athletic trainers are highly trained allied health care professionals who provide injury prevention, emergency care, evaluation, treatment and rehab, all with the goal of helping athletes stay on the field and return to play safely. Their presence means faster response to injuries, better communication with coaches and families and peace of mind for athletes and communities.

The demand for ATs is growing across schools, clinics, industry and tactical settings, and the impact they make every day shows how rewarding and meaningful this profession can be. This National Athletic Training Month we celebrate the life-changing work of athletic trainers and encourage more people to consider a career that makes a real difference.

Fellow ATs, never doubt the impact you have on the students & families you serve. I’ve had 3 interactions with parents of past athletes in recent days thanking me. I often feel like I need to do more & I am overwhelmed. Know we are providing “care you can count on” #NATM2026
