In association with the National Athletic Training Association, the Cumberland Valley High School Athletic Trainers would like to remind you that:

• • Athletic Training is practiced by certified athletic trainers: healthcare professionals who work to prevent, diagnose, and intervene in case of emergency, acute and chronic medical conditions, particularly in the orthopedic and musculoskeletal disciplines.
  • Athletic trainers hold at least a bachelor's degree and are certified through an independent agency, the Board of Certification, Incorporated.
  • Athletic trainers are part of the sports medicine and health care team, that includes physicians and other health care personnel.
  • Athletic trainers provide a financial return on investment to secondary schools, occupational employers, physicians, hospitals and clinics; and help to ease the burden on the public and private health care system.
  • Athletic trainers differ from personal trainers or "trainers" who focus solely on fitness and conditioning. Athletic trainers have higher educational and certification requirements than personal trainers. 

The Cumberland Valley School District Athletic Trainers are committed to providing quality health care to the student-athletes of the Cumberland Valley School District through prevention, evaluation, rehabilitation, and treatment of athletic injuries and illness.
