The American Medical Society for Sports Medicine (AMSSM) is a multi-disciplinary organization of physicians whose members are dedicated to education, research, collaboration and fellowship within the field of Sports Medicine. Founded in 1991, the AMSSM is now comprised of over 900 Sports Medicine Physicians whose goal is to provide a link between the rapidly expanding core of knowledge related to sports medicine and its application to patients in a clinical setting. Mountaineer athletic history dates back to a blustery fall day in 1891 when a less-than-well-organized group of University students gathered in a cow pasture outside of town to take on Washington & Jefferson in a new sport called football. Baseball and basketball soon followed and many other diverse sports -- from boxing and wrestling to volleyball and soccer -- have been a part of the Old Gold and Blue over the years. Today, the West Virginia University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics sponsors 17 athletic teams and former Mountaineers number in the thousands and live throughout the world. The WVU Athletics web site is designed to help prospective student-athletes become better acquainted with West Virginia University athletics.
