Licensed Athletic Training Coverage for NC Game Days, Tournaments, and Summer Camps

SidelineOps provides licensed, board-certified athletic training coverage for sports events across North Carolina — game days, multi-day tournaments, summer camps, and seasonal programs that need a qualified AT on the sideline. Anna Sundy, LAT, ATC, holds a Master's in Exercise Science, a Master's in Emergency and Disaster Management from Georgetown, and years of clinical experience at the high school and collegiate level. On-site athletic training coverage through SidelineOps is available in North Carolina only.

What on-site athletic training coverage includes

When you book SidelineOps for game-day or event coverage, a licensed, board-certified athletic trainer is on site from warm-ups through the final whistle.

Coverage includes:

Injury evaluation and management: On-site assessment and initial management of acute injuries — sprains, strains, concussions, heat illness, and more — so your athletes get the right response immediately rather than waiting for EMS.
Emergency response: If a life-threatening emergency occurs, the athletic trainer activates your Emergency Action Plan, initiates CPR or AED use as indicated, and coordinates with EMS until care is transferred.
Sideline medical support: Taping, bracing, return-to-play decisions, and real-time communication with coaches and parents throughout the event.
Documentation: Written injury and incident reports for each event, ready for the organization's records.

This is the same role an on-staff athletic trainer fills at a well-resourced high school or university — available to organizations that don't have one.

Coverage Formats

Athletic training coverage is available in four formats to fit the scope of your event or season:

Single event: One game, match, or meet. Ideal for tournaments, playoff games, and special events.
Half-day: Up to four hours of on-site coverage. Fits shorter practice sessions, double-headers, or partial tournament days.
Full day: Eight or more hours of on-site coverage. Fits full tournament days, multi-sport events, or camp days with a full schedule.
Seasonal retainer: Ongoing coverage for a set number of events or days across a season. Best fit for camps and programs that need consistent AT presence over weeks or months.

All coverage is available in North Carolina only.

Who This is For

Athletic training coverage through SidelineOps is built for organizations that don't have a staff athletic trainer and need one for a specific event or season:

Summer camps: Multi-day residential or day camps running sports programming without a medical staff member on site.
Recreation leagues: Community leagues and programs whose seasons involve contact sports, field events, or competitive play.
Tournament organizers: Schools, clubs, or event companies running multi-team, multi-day tournaments where an AT needs to be present for the full event.
Schools and clubs without a staff AT: Programs that occasionally need coverage for a home game, playoff event, or out-of-season scrimmage.

If your organization also needs a written Emergency Action Plan for the venue where this coverage will happen, SidelineOps can build one as a separate engagement. It is worth having in place before any event.

Why Having a Licensed Athletic Trainer Matter

Athletic trainers are the only healthcare professionals specifically trained to prevent, evaluate, and treat sports-related injuries in the athletic setting. When an athlete goes down — whether it is a concussion, a suspected fracture, a heat emergency, or a cardiac event — the athletic trainer on the sideline is the first responder who determines what happens in the next five minutes. That matters more than any general safety vendor who has not worked in an athletic training room.

Her coverage is not general sports supervision — it is medical care from a trained clinician.
