It is the mission of the Central Texas Athletic Trainers' Society (CTATS) to promote Athletic Training in and around Central Texas. CTATS will provide continuing education hours and training to Athletic Trainers in order to enhance appropriate, quality services to our athletes and patients. Creating an atmosphere conducive for the free exchange of ideas and methods for the best practice of Athletic Training is a goal for all CTATS members. CTATS is also dedicated to the future of Athletic Training by providing hands on training and fellowship for students interested in the field of Athletic Training.
CTATS was established in 2008 to serve the athletic trainers in the Central Texas Region. Many of the initial events that CTATS put together were designed to build its membership and establish the organization in a positive light to its members. The 2009 Student and Professional Workshop, held at Georgetown High School attracted over 100 students and 30 professionals.
The CTATS Board consists of:
President – Joe Gonzalez
Vice-President – Elizabeth Maybin
Secretary – Trevor Swift
Treasurer – Jessica Beeman
Regional Representatives – Andy Wilson, Chelsea Frashure, Diana Operhall, Keith Patterson and Allen Mays
CTATS also held its first social event at the 2009 SWATA Symposium in Arlington. The social was held at the Blackfinn American Saloon and an outstanding time was had by all who attended.
CTATS members Diana Operhall, Mark Salter, Nikki Vincent and Joe Gonzalez provided athletic training services to participants in the “Stiletto Stampede for the Cure” in August. The excitement of watching current and former breast cancer patients compete to raise money for research made a lasting impact on the workers.
The 3rd Annual CTATS Workshop will be held this Saturday, January 30, 2010, at the University of Mary-Hardin Baylor. For more information about this wonderful workshop check out the CTATS website, www.ctats.org and click on the workshop link for all the details.
