Northview High School has decided to create a full-time athletic trainer (AT) position for the 2017-18 school year. In 2013, Covina Valley Unified became the first school district client of ATvantage LLC when they agreed to allow ATvantage to provide contract athletic trainers for the athletes at Northview. The contract originally began with 200 hours of athletic training services for the school year. Four years later, Northview has proven they recognize the importance of an athletic trainer by creating a full-time position.

“I believe the overall purpose of ATvanatge is to provide high schools with ATs in hopes of the schools creating full-time opportunities for the profession,” Daniel Rangel, the ATvantage contract athletic trainer placed at Northview High School, stated. “I can say with confidence that the company did fulfill its purpose.”

ATvantage’s work may be finished at Northview, but the company moves forward with its mission to make this a reality at more school districts. “Our passion for athletic training is why we do what we do and helping to create positions that did not exist prior to our involvement is a true testament to that,” Alisha Pennington, owner of ATvantage, said.

Southern California Youth Rugby Selects ATvantage for Player Welfare Program

ANAHEIM, Calif. – Jan. 25,  2016 – ATvantage Athletic Training has been selected by Southern California Youth Rugby (SCYR) to initiate their Player Welfare Program (PWP) for the 2016 season. The PWP will provide SCYR’s athletes with several benefits including access to Certified Athletic Trainers (ATs), an online baseline concussion test, and a mobile injury reporting software. This groundbreaking program is the first of its kind and ATvantage is proud to be a part of it.

“It is an honor to work with SCYR implementing the first Player Welfare Program as it aligns with our mission to provide an athletic trainer to all athletes,” Alisha Pennington, owner of ATvantage said. “Having just read statistics that rugby concussion rates are nearly 18 times the national average, we are hopeful that it won’t be the last.”

Understanding the value of having athletic trainers on the sidelines, SCYR is seeking to have the medical professionals at all matches for participants age 8-18. ATvantage will be responsible for staffing all 2016 games within an area spanning nearly 40,000 square miles including Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside/San Bernardino, San Luis Obispo and Ventura Counties.

The AT’s primary duties will be to manage injuries occurring during play and identify concussions, thus taking medical decisions out of the hands of uncertified personnel and improving safety for the athlete.
