Flagstaff Hill Football Club is seeking volunteer Sports Trainers to join the team in Season 2021.

Sports trainers and first aiders have been part of Australian Football since the origins of the game. They are part of the fabric of every club and play a key role in player preparation and safety at all levels. At FHFC our Sports Trainers are a vital cog in the wheel and keep our players from our Junior and Senior teams in top shape during games and trainings.

What is a Sports Trainer?
A Sports Trainer is responsible for a number of duties on both match day and on training nights, including but
not limited to:
• Sports taping
• Sports massage
• First aid
• Injury management & assessment (e.g. assessing soft tissue injuries, range of motion tests)

What do I need to bring to the table?

• First Aid Qualifications 
• Willingness to undertake Level 1 Sports Trainer qualification through SASMA (cost reimbursed through club) 
• Games are played across the Southern Football League so access to a car is required. 
• Enthusiasm and willingness to learn!
• Availability during weeknights and/or on Weekends

Who might this interest? 

– Nurse, Physiotherapist, Allied Health Professionals 
– Students who are studying exercise & sport science, physiotherapy, osteopathy, massage therapy, paramedicine
