The City of Elk Grove Proclaims March as National Athletic Training Month
ELK GROVE, Calif. – March 8, 2017 – In March we celebrate National Athletic Training Month (NATM), a time to spread awareness and recognize the valuable work of Athletic Trainers (ATs). We are excited to announce that the City of Elk Grove has officially declared March National Athletic Training Month, as read and presented by the city’s Vice Mayor Steven M. Detrick.
Present at the City Council meeting were Rod Edmiston, Elk Grove Unified School District Athletic Director and Samantha Perry, certified athletic trainer from Franklin High School. Elk Grove Unified School district contracted with ATvantage Athletic Training at the beginning of the 2016-2017 school year to provide certified athletic trainers at each of their 9 high schools, a first for the district.
With licensure for athletic trainers (AB 1510) currently in front of the California legislature, the recognition of these allied healthcare professionals could not be more relevant. California is currently the only state in the United States without licensure for Athletic Trainers.
