Athletic Trainer Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become an athletic trainer in Florida?
You must obtain a license from the Florida Board of Athletic Training, which is part of the Florida Department of Health. To qualify, you need a degree from a Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education-accredited program and a passing score on the Board of Certification exam. Once those are complete, you apply directly to the Florida Board of Athletic Training for your state license before practicing.
How much do athletic trainers make in Florida?
Athletic trainers in Florida earn a median of about $61,350 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $48,890 for the lowest 10% to over $80,370 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire athletic trainers in Florida?
Employers hiring athletic trainers in Florida right now include Crunch Fitness, YouFit Gyms, and Anytime Fitness, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Florida's concentration of professional sports franchises, large hospital-affiliated sports medicine clinics, and major state universities means hiring is spread across both clinical and athletics settings throughout the state.
Which Florida cities have the most athletic trainer jobs?
Miami, Orlando, and Jacksonville have the most athletic trainer openings in Florida. Tampa and Orlando generate consistent volume through their hospital systems, outpatient orthopedic clinics, and proximity to large university athletic programs, while Miami's professional sports teams and sports medicine centers drive demand in South Florida.
Are there remote athletic trainer jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're rare. Athletic training is fundamentally a hands-on role requiring direct patient and athlete contact, so fully remote positions are uncommon. About 6% of athletic trainer openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of August 2026. The portions most suited to remote work are telehealth consultations, injury prevention education, and administrative coordination roles within larger sports medicine practices.
How can I get hired as an athletic trainer in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for staff athletic trainer or clinical assistant roles at Florida hospital-affiliated sports medicine clinics, which regularly hire newly licensed graduates from CAATE-accredited Florida programs such as those at the University of Florida, Florida State University, and Barry University. Large employers like AdventHealth and HCA Florida run clinical rotations and new-graduate onboarding tracks. Candidates coming from related roles such as physical therapy aide or exercise physiology positions have a clear lateral path. Holding an active Florida Board of Athletic Training license before applying gives you a decisive edge over candidates still pending credentialing.
Where can I find and apply to athletic trainer jobs in Florida?
You can find and apply to athletic trainer jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the state. Search the listings to see roles that match your experience, specialty, and preferred location in Florida, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
