Welcome to the website for Sports Medicine and Athletic Training for Crandall ISD Athletics.

The purpose of this site is to allow parents, athletes, student-trainer, and coaches to access information about health care and necessary information before participating in Crandall ISD Athletics. You can also find important announcements at the bottom of this page.

It is the goal of the Pirate Sports Medicine Program to offer premier care and prevention of athletic injuries for the student-athletes. We ensure that the health of the student-athlete will be our main area of focus and concern. We are also here to educate the student- athletic trainer and prepare them for their future.
