Dear Athletic Trainer,
The Volleyball Festival is a club tournament with over 700 teams from throughout the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. This year the event will be held June 27-July 3 in Phoenix, AZ. A few athletic trainers will be needed on Friday, July 26 to help set up. The entire tournament, with approximately 100 courts of play, will be held at the Phoenix Convention Center. A staff of approximately 60 athletics trainers and interns will be involved, along with area physicians. With exposure to a large volume of athletes and injuries and with supervision from a excellent staff, the overwhelming majority of site athletic trainers have found this to be a valuable experience. It has become an outstanding networking opportunity as well.
Student interns are paid $10/hour the first year and an additional $.50/hr. for each previous Festival worked. Certified Athletic Trainers are paid $15/hour in their first year as an ATC at the Festival and then, in subsequent years, are paid $18/hour. Meals are provided while working. Housing, if needed, will be provided at no cost in hotels adjacent to the Convention Center. Housing will begin on Friday, June 25, if you are chosen to help with the set up or practices on June 26, and otherwise your housing will start on Saturday, June 26. Athletic trainers are responsible for their transportation costs to Phoenix.
Athletic trainers typically work a total of 50-55 hours for the event in 9-10 hour daily shifts and are paid for meetings and helping with opening ceremonies. Friday, July 2 is a quieter day and many athletic trainers will have the day off. On Saturday, July 3, the last day of the tournament, play ends at 6 pm. Some athletic trainers are needed to stay until approximately 8 pm to help pack and some may be finished as early as 1 pm. Once accepted athletic trainers will be sent a form in which staff may request housing, including roommate requests and will be asked for work availability and preferences. Athletic trainers are required commit to work minimally Sunday though Thursday.
To apply download the application and email, fax, or mail it to me. The contact information is on the bottom of the application. If you need additional information feel free to contact me. Feel free to pass on this information to other athletic trainers you know who you think might be interest.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Carol Rogers, MA, A.T.,C., C.S.C.S.
