The Lake Travis Sports Medicine Program is a very important part of the overall success of all Cavalier athletic programs. We are responsible for the prevention, care, treatment, and rehabilitation of all athletic injuries that our athletes encounter. The student athletic trainers at Lake Travis High School assist the Certified/Licensed Athletic Trainers in all aspects of athletic training. Student athletic trainers assist with or perform duties such as taping, administering treatments, providing first-aid, injury evaluation, stretching, and are certified in CPR/AED and First-aid. Our student athletic trainers are dedicated to both the well-being of our student athletes and themselves.

 

 

If you are interested in becoming a student athletic trainer for the 2026-2027 school year, please complete the Student Trainer Application, and return it to the athletic training room by April 17th, prior to the first day of spring football practice. In order to be considered an applicant for the program, you will also need to submit all your grades from the current 2025-2026 school year, and two letters of recommendation (one from a teacher and one from a coach.) 

 

All incoming student trainers will be REQUIRED to attend every practice day during Spring Football. The practice schedule will be posted as soon as possible. Students will be released from practice at 8:15 am in order to make it to school on time. You are RESPONSIBLE for transportation to and from practice.  We will be practicing on the upper practice fields (located on the top fields across from the track stadium). 

 

Incoming Level 1 student athletic trainers are required to take the "Sports Medicine I" course that is offered as an elective, and the "Athletic Training", which is a PE credit. If you are selected to be a student athletic trainer, then you will be enrolled in these courses by your counselor, and then it will be MANDATORY to attend for First AID and CPR/AED training on May 9th 2026. We will also start going over taping Skills. August 3rd the first day of football practices. The schedule will be posted in Google Classroom when the year begins.

 

 

You must wear dress code appropriate athletic shorts, a t-shirt that can get dirty (no tank tops), and tennis shoes for each practice. It will be warm outside, so remember to bring sunscreen, a hat/visor (LTISD hats only, and must be forward-facing) and sunglasses. Please make sure to be properly hydrating each day.
