Information Available On This Site

This website provides information about the SDATA and athletic training related activities in the state of South Dakota. The purpose of this site is to enhance communication among members and to provide an avenue for the distribution of association information. It is hoped that this site provides information for new certified athletic trainers and professionals who may be moving into the state, such as information related to membership in the SDATA and licensure as an athletic trainer in South Dakota. New and current members should find information about state meetings, member addresses, and licensure renewal information. If you would like to see additional information placed on this website, please contact the webmaster, Josh Ellis, by using the link at the bottom of this page.

If you have any questions, ideas, or information you would like to share with the SDATA, please feel free to contact any member of the Executive Committee. We would be glad to answer your questions, provide assistance possible, or help you get involved in the organization.
