Participating in school approved athletics is a privilege that involves certain additional responsibilities. All student-athletes are expected to conform to the school regulations if they choose to participate as a member of a Philomath Athletic Team. In addition, athletic participants must meet Oregon School Activities Association academic standards. Refer to the PHS Student Handbook for complete list of standards.
Parents of high school students wanting to participate in athletics must register using FamilyID . FamilyID is a secure, user-friendly online registration platform that streamlines the application process and allows parents to enter information once for multiple family members and athletic teams.
The Philomath School District has partnered with PT Northwest to provide athletic training services.
Duties and Responsibilities
Athletic trainers are allied healthcare professionals who enhance the quality of healthcare for the physically active population. Athletic trainers are trained to deal with injuries that occur in sports, and typically work with other healthcare professionals who collectively form a sports medicine team. Members of this team include physicians, the physician assistant, nurse practitioners, and physical therapists, and other medical support personnel.
The athletic trainers governing body is the National Athletic Trainers Association. The NATA establishes the standards of practice, and code of ethics for all athletic training professionals to abide by. Certified athletic trainers work in a variety of settings including secondary schools, school districts, colleges, universities, professional sports teams, and sports medicine clinics.
The six major performance domains of practice established by the NATA are listed as follows:
1. Prevention
2. Recognition, evaluation, and assessment of injuries
3. Immediate care of inuries
4. Treatment, rehabilitation, and recondition of athletic injuries
5. Healthcare administration
6. Professional development and responsibility

The Oregon School Activities Association, OSAA, is a non-profit, board-governed organization comprised of its member schools, both private and public. The OSAA is dedicated to ensuring equitable competition for Oregon high school students through OSAA-sponsored events. The foundation for that goal lies in a belief that no school, team or individual should be treated as any more or less than another.
OSAA standardized rules of eligibility and competition, and put in place a standard of education regarding participation in interscholastic activities. Administered equally and fairly, OSAA policies strive to allow no one school to outweigh its brethren.
