Staff

Edmond Memorial Football is blessed to have one of the best athletic training staffs around. Many of our student staff members have gone on to colleges and universities on athletic trainer scholarships and become certified trainers, head trainers, therapists and physicians. Our trainers provide a vital service to our program before, during and after each practice or game. Taping, wrapping, icing, massaging, stretching, equipping, hydrating, cautioning, correcting, listening, watching, encouraging, praising and, occasionally, scolding players is a daily undertaking carried out with great care. Our student trainers perform their duties with enthusiasm under the watchful eyes of credentialed professionals.
