Sports Medicine
St. Pius X Catholic High School’s Sports Medicines Program is second to none. In conjunction with the mission statement of the school and the Athletic Department, the Sports Medicine program is a service oriented department to support the needs of our student-athletes and their coaches. We are prepared for any emergency, practice and pre-game needs, as well as any post-game support.
As a part of the program, all student trainers will have the opportunity to learn injury management skills, preventative and post injury management skills, proper hydration techniques and other life skills.
As we are representatives of our athletic program and our school, our conduct and appearance must be professional and exemplary.
