The purpose of the Sports Medicine class is to teach and inform our current Student Athletic Trainers about the profession of Athletic Training.  The students will cover two topics per week and be tested every two weeks.  Each test grade will count towards a major grade for their nine weeks grade.  Daily grades will come in the form of morning treatments, practice coverage, and game coverage.
