Hello all

I hope you are all staying healthy and safe.

This has been a crazy year....all starting the week of the 2020 Sports Medicine Competition. With so many different policies and protocols, we know that most schools will not be allowed to travel for the 2021 competition. We also are unable to utilize our normal venue due to probable restrictions at that time .With this in mind, we have planned to host the 2021 High School Sports Medicine Competition completely online...as we did in 2020.

As with the 2020 Sports Medicine Competition. We will have a "Start Date" of March 18th, but will allow schools to take the written exam between March 18- March 27.

We will administer practicals to the top 50 students in each division (Novice, Intermediate, Advanced) via Zoom/FaceTime/Skype as we did last year start March 29th- April 6th.

Awards will be announced on Friday, 9th on YouTube Live.

With all the closures of business and other difficulties, we have decided to streamline the event this year. We will not offer T-shirts or presents for the students.. SO-we are dropping the price this year from $50.00 per student to $30.00 per student. We will continue with our tradition of shirts, and gifts in 2022 when we are able to meet again in person at CSUN's campus.

If you are interested in Pre-Registering for the competition (being placed on the Interested school list) utilize the link below.
