Ochsner Sports Medicine Institute’s Athletic Training Outreach Program provides services to the greater New Orleans region spanning from Baton Rouge to Mississippi, providing quality healthcare to athletes competing in any sport. Ochsner’s trainers are proficient in prevention, treatment, and maintenance of any sport related injury or health condition.

We are proud to be able to lead our student-athletes in guided, monitored, and goal oriented training with the help of a solid athletic team who encourage growth and development in their respective sports. We have an elite athletic training room equipped with the finest in weight training equipment. It’s worth a tour to see this fantastic facility. 

Do any of your coaches have relative college and/or professional playing experiences? Ascension Christian’s coaches have extensive experince in playing and/or coaching at high levels of competition at either a state and/or a national level. Most recently, Ascension Christian hired former LSU quarterback Rohan Davey as the head football coach. Rohan played under Coahes Nick Saban and Bill Belichick. 

What grades are allowed to play high school sports? Middle school sports can include students in grades 7-8. High school sports can includes elite 8 graders through 12 graders.

Will my child get to play?  The more experience and training a student-athlete has coming into a sport the better the chances are of playing sooner. However, most students who come into a sport with little or no experience may need to participate in the sport to learn, grow, and develop the necessary fundamentals and strength required to compete prior to active participation in the sport. The last thing coaches want is to put a student-athlete in a dangerous situation where they could get hurt. 1-A sports in LHSAA can be overwhelming to a new competitor. 

Does the school pay for my child to go the doctor or hospital if they are injured in a sport? Ascension Christian provides supplemental insurance in the event that a child is NOT covered under a primary health plan by their parents/guardians. Doctor visits and therapies are covered by the parents’s insurances. Ascension Christian has a certified and licensed Athletic Trainer who can support student-athletes with the most common needs while on campus or at a game. The trainer can also make recommendations to the student and parents to support their needs outside of the trainer’s scope of responsibilities. 

How many titles does Ascension Christian have in athletic competitions? Ascension Christian has numerous state and district championship titles in tennis, swimming, golf, volleyball, soccer, and softball as well as many appearances in state tournament playoffs. 

Where do I pay the athletic fee? Payments can be made at the school front office or via your Parent Portal in Renweb.
