ABSTRACT: There are conflicts revolving the public knowledge as to the role and important of physiotherapy services (Dally and Sim, 2001) With this, the aim of the study is to discover the level of the Association of Local Colleges and Universities-NCR (ALCU-NCR) women's volleyball athletes regarding the roles of sports physiotherapists, and to determine if there are unawareness and misconceptions about those roles. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among n=74 athletes from seven member schools participated in the 8th ALCU Games. A 41-item self-administered Likert scale questionnaire consisting of four domains: injury prevention, acute intervention , rehabilitation and performance enhancement was constructed based on the standards of practice set by Philippine Physical Therapist Association (PPTA), American Physical Therapist Association (APTA), International Federation of Sports Physiotherapists (IFSPT) for sports physiotherapists' competencies and standards, and questionnaire by Chiwaridzo (2015). The questionnaire underwent content validation by a professional sports physiotherapist, sports team coach and psychometrician. Pilot testing was conducted to assure the feasibility of the questionnaire. Factor analysis was used to obtain factor scores through IBM SPSS version 21. Results revealed that respondents have above average awareness on injury prevention (55%), rehabilitation (54%) and performance enhancement (51%). On the other hand, there were more respondents rated as below average level of awareness on acute intervention (53%). Greatest percentage of unawareness was exhibited in acute intervention, which focuses whether PT addresses conditions like cardiac and stomach pain. Focus on increasing the level of awareness specially on Acute Intervention must be advocated. Keywords: Awareness, Roles, Athletes, ALCU, Sports Medicine, Rehabilitation, Sports Physiotherapist
