In too many communities, sports medicine services are unfunded, leaving young athletes without the care they need to stay safe. PlaySafe USA, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was created to close that gap and ensure every student athlete has the same standard of protection, no matter where they play.
We believe comprehensive sports medicine begins with certified athletic trainers (ATCs) — experts in injury prevention, evaluation, treatment, and safe return-to-play. But PlaySafe’s mission extends beyond athletic training. We’re building a full ecosystem of care that serves every layer of the community — combining the expertise of medical professionals with prevention specialists, mental health professionals, and local partners. Together, these teams strengthen education, health, and safety outcomes for student athletes on and off the field.
PlaySafe provides full-time athletic training services to all student-athletes in our area. In addition, a certified athletic trainer will be available in all secondary schools to offer comprehensive sports medicine and health services for all students.
These services will promote healthy and safe athletic participation, return-to-sports activities, and a healthy lifestyle and educational programming for students and non-athletes. In addition, PlaySafe’s secondary school program will serve as a community-based wellness program from which additional community programming can be developed and delivered.
This community-based approach promotes healthy participation, supports recovery, and strengthens wellness for both athletes and non-athletes. Simply put, PlaySafe exists to protect young people — and to give families, schools, and communities the peace of mind that comes with knowing someone is always on their sideline.
Your donation helps PlaySafe place certified athletic trainers in schools, empower student wellness, strengthen community safety nets, and support the professionals who protect young athletes every day.
