Sports Medicine Australia’s Safer Sport Program

Level 1 Sports Trainer Course

Sports injuries are costly. Not only are they detrimental to health, but they are also expensive. Injuries mean more sidelined players, lengthy rehabilitation and subsequent poor team performance. It is therefore crucial not to underestimate the importance of team safety.

Sports safety personnel (including sports trainers and sports first aiders) are an integral part of all sports. They play a key role in keeping sport safe. Through their knowledge skills and involvement, injuries are minimized, keeping players in action, which contributes to sporting success.

SMA’s Level 1 Sports Trainer course will recognise you as a nationally accredited sports trainer, providing skills on how to prevent and manage injuries on and off the sporting field. National accreditation is the standard requirement in many of the country’s sporting codes.

Topics include:

• Sports Trainer in Action
• Sports Nutrition
• Principles of Injury Management
• Transport of the Injured Athlete
• Sports Taping... and more!
