The purpose of the CATA Secondary Schools Committee is to represent the experiences, challenges and future direction of high school athletic trainers throughout the state. It is intended to provide a functional route of communication to, and from, our state, district and national leadership. With guidance and direction from the NATA, the committee will interface with a variety of individuals and organizations across California, contributing to the accomplishment of nationwide goals for the secondary school setting.
survey from the Athletic Training Program at A.T. Still University
Dear CATA Member,
You should have, or shortly will receive a survey from the Athletic Training Program at A.T. Still University, assessing student-athlete access to athletic training services in secondary schools. The National Sports Safety in Secondary Schools Benchmark (N4SB) study is an NATA commissioned project, essential in identifying how the health and safety of student-athletes can be improved.
The CATA Secondary Schools Committee and the Managing Board strongly encourage you to complete this short survey, which is being distributed to athletic trainers across all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Please follow this link to the survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/5M3DCFW Simply click on this address to go directly to the survey. If this does not work, "copy and paste" this address into the address bar of your Internet Browser.
Thank you for your willingness to support the research that will one day support our setting.

What you need to know about steroids & sports
The NATA, in collaboration with the Taylor Hooton Foundation is offering important tips on anabolic steroids and performance enhancing drugs, primarily for students. We hope that you will also share these with other health care professionals, athletes, parents, coaches, athletic directors, media, school administrators, local PTA and Booster Clubs to encourage young athletes – and athletes of ALL ages – to be smart and SAFE when it comes to sports performance.
