The Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) Athletic Training Program is designed to provide quality sports injury care in each of the 25 high schools. Each school has two Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC) positions; these individuals are committed to providing quality healthcare for the entire student body.

The Certified Athletic Trainers (ATC)  strive to establish trusting relationships with the athletes, coaching staff, parents, and the medical community. These relationships depend on effective communication between all parties involved, and a commitment to do what’s best for the athletes.
