The ATSA Olympics was designed to promote the National Athletic Training Month (March) by having a symposium for current high school students.
This symposium offers information on human anatomy, injury evaluation, and rehabilitation, which is presented by the students. A guest speaker
will present to the students as well on a variety of topics. Also students will compete in a written simulation, practical team
competition, and ankle taping competitions for the ATSA Cup.
History:
The event was started in the Spring of 2004, to have students teach and learn from each other and to promote athletic training and the medical field
Competition:

To compete in the Team Competition, a school must have at least three students present at the ATSA Olympics. The team score will take the three
highest scores in the written & simulation exam no matter how many students are present from their high school. The ankle taping & practical team
competition will also be included in the High School's team score.

Each individual student at the ATSA Olympics will be eligible to compete in the individual competition. The individual with the highest average
