ATHLETIC TRAINING (#7085)

Athletic Training consists of approximately thirty Student Athletic Trainers who work with over 1200 male and female athletes in more than twenty sports. The primary responsibility of the athletic training staff is the care, prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries. Involvement with the program is also a great way to gain valuable medical experience. Students are required to work football and one other sport. During the sport seasons, much of the work is after school or evening, some Saturdays, and some varsity team travel is involved. Students must complete an application and have written approval from parents and the Athletic Trainer. Upon approval, students take both Athletic Trainer and Athletic Trainer Study Hall classes that coincide with athletic periods.

TEAM SPORTS (Various Local 4-digit ID#s)

Team Sports

Boerne Independent School District offers a variety of competitive sports for both girls and boys. Athletic activities operate under guidelines of the University Interscholastic League (UIL).
