Sunday 1st March saw us welcome over 100 Sports Trainers at our annual FAST Conference.
With over 100 attendees, and 8 trade displays this was another incredibly successful conference held at the Morphettville Racecourse. A huge thank you goes out to all our dedicated Sports Trainers who attended.
The morning presentation was a Panel Discussion based on ‘Working together for the benefit of your players’. The panel was run by the North Adelaide Football Club Medical Team; Ashlee Lines, Head Trainer, Kevyn Hernandes, Club Doctor and Tom Peters Club Physiotherapist. It was a great start to the day!
A big thank you to our sponsors and supporters, without you we would not be able to put on such a great conference for our trainers! It was great to see our attendees enjoying themselves at the Trade Tables! Thank you to Maxiplast and IDM, as well as Wakefield Sports Clinic, SPARC, Human Kinetics Medipro, St Johns First Aid, and Sportsmed for being involved this year and presenting such great displays for our delegates.
Many thanks to all those who attended on Sunday and your ongoing support of SASMA. Without your support we can’t continue to run the quality of training and services we do, so thank you!
The lectures and workshops were really well received and we are very lucky to have some incredibly knowledgeable presenters. A huge thankyou to all our presenters for giving up their time on Sunday
