Athletic Trainer Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a athletic trainer in Arizona?
To work as an athletic trainer in Arizona, you must hold an active license from the Arizona State Board of Athletic Training, which requires graduating from a CAATE-accredited athletic training program and passing the BOC examination. After passing the BOC, you submit a licensure application to the Arizona State Board of Athletic Training with proof of your credentials. Renewal requires completing continuing education hours each cycle to maintain standing.
How much do athletic trainers make in Arizona?
Athletic trainers in Arizona earn a median of about $61,710 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $48,330 for the lowest 10% to over $89,080 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire athletic trainers in Arizona?
Employers hiring athletic trainers in Arizona right now include EoS Fitness, Vasa Fitness, and YMCA, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Arizona's mix of major health systems, professional sports franchises, and large public universities means openings appear across clinical, collegiate, and elite athletic settings throughout the state.
Which Arizona cities have the most athletic trainer jobs?
Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Tucson account for the largest share of athletic trainer openings in Arizona. Phoenix drives volume through its concentration of hospital-based sports medicine programs, professional sports teams, and large school districts, while Tucson and Tempe benefit from the University of Arizona and Arizona State University athletic departments, which are among the most active institutional employers of athletic trainers in the state.
Are there remote athletic trainer jobs in Arizona?
Yes, but they're rare. Athletic training is a hands-on, patient-facing role that typically requires on-site presence, so most positions involve in-person work at schools, clinics, or athletic facilities. About 0% of athletic trainer openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions tend to involve administrative, consulting, or telehealth coordination functions rather than direct athlete care.
How can I get hired as a athletic trainer in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a clinical rotation or graduate assistantship that converts into a full-time offer. Large Arizona employers like Banner Health and Arizona State University regularly onboard new graduates through structured clinical programs, and many secondary school districts hire entry-level athletic trainers for coverage roles that require BOC certification but not years of independent experience. Candidates who hold an active Arizona State Board of Athletic Training license and can demonstrate hands-on hours from CAATE-accredited program rotations are competitive for these openings.
Where can I find and apply to athletic trainer jobs in Arizona?
You can find and apply to athletic trainer jobs in Arizona on Migrate Mate, which lists current Arizona openings from employers across the state. Search the listings for roles that match your credentials and experience level and apply directly to the ones that fit.
