2019-2020 Registration

LET'S GET READY FOR SOME LACROSSE!

Welcome to girls lacrosse at Stephen F. Austin High School (AHS)! The information contained in this form needs to be completed to finalize a player's registration. Please note, until registration is complete, a player may not begin practicing with the team.

If a signature is required, please use your mouse to sign.

Items marked with a red asterisk (*) must be completed.

REGISTRATION FORMAT:

1. Player Info

2. Parent Info

3. AISD, UIL, and THSGLL Forms & Policies

4. AHSGLAX Forms & Policies (Medical, Transportation, Social Media Waivers, etc.)

5. Payment

A NOTE ABOUT FORMS:

In this registration, you will see a number of policies and forms, some requiring a signature, some just an acknowledgement of receipt.

Q: Why do we require both AISD/UIL paperwork, and AHSGLAX paperwork?

A: AHSGLAX represents Stephen F. Austin High School (SFA) in the Central Texas District of the Texas High School Girls Lacrosse League (THSGLL) and is afforded many of the same privileges as SFA UIL teams, such as equipment use, field access, and use of facilities. This relationship with SFA requires each player and a parent or guardian to read and sign the same AISD and UIL forms, just as if Girls’ Lacrosse were an official AISD and UIL sport. AHSGLAX has its own paperwork bundle as well, due to its status as a separate legal and operational entity.

Inevitably, there will be some overlap between the AISD/UIL paperwork and the AHSGLAX club paperwork. We have attempted to organize the registration process to minimize duplicative information and effort. As a result, you'll see the Policies & Forms organized in two parts: 1) AISD/UIL documentation (which is consolidated in a single pdf, and requires just one Parent acknowledgement), and 2) AHSGLAX documentation (which is less voluminous, and requires a signature for each document).

A FEW NOTES ABOUT DUES/$$$:

Fall / Spring Program Dues:

2021-2022 dues for the Season are $795.00. This payment can be either paid in full or in (3) installments of $265 due at 1) time of registration 2) 10.31.21 and 3) 11.30.21

Fundraising:

Because we are self-funded (rather than funded by the AISD / SFA athletics budget), our annual fundraising activities are critical to the program's success.

We will communicate with you later in the season regarding our Snapraise campaign (late Fall) and Boys/Girls Lax Fiesta Party (early Spring).

In connection with Registration, all of our families are asked to consider two opportunities to support the Club's fundraising efforts: (1) an optional, tax-free Donation that can be made along with your Fall Ball dues payment, and (2) Corporate Matching Programs (if this applies to you, please let us know and we'll gladly work with you to maximize that opportunity!).

INFECTIOUS DISEASE LIABILITY WAIVER
AUSTIN HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS LACROSSE INFECTIOUS DISEASE WAIVER OF LIABILITY, RELEASE OF CLAIMS, INDEMNITY AND HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT

In consideration of being allowed to participate in any and all Austin High School Girls Lacrosse (“AHS Lax”) practices, skill sessions, scrimmages, games, tournaments, related events and activities (collectively referred to herein as, “Activities” and individually as an “Activity”), the undersigned acknowledges, understands, and agrees to all of the following agreements and provisions contained in this Infectious Disease Waiver of Liability, Release of Claims, Indemnity and Hold Harmless Agreement (the “Agreement”):

1) The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact and is wide-spread across the United States of America, including the State of Texas.

2) I understand the hazards of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases such as MRSA and influenza and am familiar with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) guidelines regarding COVID-19. I acknowledge and understand that the circumstances regarding COVID-19 are changing from day to day and that, accordingly, the guidelines of the CDC, State of Texas, the University Interscholastic League, Travis County (and surrounding counties), along with the rules and regulations of the owners and leaseholders of the premises where AHS Lax conducts its Activities, including West Austin Youth Association and Austin Independent School District (the “Facility Owners”) are regularly modified and updated, and I accept full responsibility for familiarizing myself and complying with the most recent updates of such rules, regulations and guidelines.

3) I understand participation in any or all AHS Lax Activities includes possible exposure to and illness from infectious diseases including but not limited to COVID-19, MRSA, and influenza. While AHS Lax has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases, AHS Lax cannot guarantee that you, your player or your family members will not become infected with COVID-19 or any other infectious disease. Further, attending any AHS Lax Activities could increase your (parent/guardian) risk, your family members’ risk and your player’s risk of contracting COVID-19 or any other infectious disease. While compliance with AHS Lax’s, the CDC’s, the State of Texas’, and Travis County’s rules, regulations and guidelines may reduce the risk of contracting COVID-19 or any other infectious disease, the risk of serious illness and death does exist.

4) To the best of my knowledge, my player and myself are of good health, are not immune compromised and can fully participate in any AHS Lax Activities as a player and/or spectator. Notwithstanding the risks associated with COVID-19 or any other infectious disease, which I readily acknowledge, I hereby voluntarily choose to participate in any and all AHS Lax Activities as a spectator and/or player and to enter any and all premises used by AHS Lax for its Activities knowing that any of the Activities may be hazardous to me. I VOLUNTARILY ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY RISKS OF LOSS, DAMAGE, PERSONAL LOSS, ILLNESS, INJURY OR DEATH FROM COVID-19, OR ANY OTHER INFECTIOUS DISEASE, THAT MAY BE SUSTAINED BY ME, MY FAMILY MEMBERS OR MY PLAYER AS A RESULT OF BEING ENGAGED IN ANY AHS LAX ACTIVITIES, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF AHS LAX, ITS MEMBERS, BOARD, OFFICERS, COACHES, CONTRACTORS, VOLUNTEERS, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, OR BY THE FACILITY OWNERS (COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO HEREIN AS “RELEASEES” OR INDIVIDUALLY AS “RELEASEE”) OR OTHERWISE.

5) In consideration for participating in or spectating any AHS Lax Activities and for other valuable consideration which is hereby acknowledged, I hereby RELEASE, WAIVE, HOLD HARMLESS, DISCHARGE AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE RELEASEES from any and all liability, claims, costs, demands, actions and causes of action whatsoever arising out of or related to any loss, damage, illness or injury, including death, that may be sustained by me, my family members or my player FROM COVID-19, OR ANY OTHER INFECTIOUS DISEASES, AS A RESULT OF BEING ENGAGED IN ANY OF THE AHS LAX ACTIVITIES, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF RELEASEES OR OTHERWISE.

6) I shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the RELEASEES from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, judgments, losses, costs or expenses of any nature whatsoever including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements, whether of in-house or outside counsel, and whether or not an action is brought, on appeal or otherwise, arising from or out of, or relating to, directly or indirectly, an infection of myself, my player or my family members with COVID-19, or any other infectious disease, illness or injury.

7) It is my expressed intent that this Agreement shall bind the members of my family and spouse (if any), if I am alive, and my heirs, assigns and personal representative, if I am not alive, and shall be deemed as a RELEASE, WAIVER, DISCHARGE AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE the above RELEASEES.

8) I understand that AHS Lax (or any RELEASEE) will not be responsible for any medical costs associated with any illness from COVID-19 or any other infectious disease that I, my player or my family members may sustain as a result of participating in any AHS Lax Activities.

9) I HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER WAS EXPRESSLY NEGOTIATED AND IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO THE PERMISSION GRANTED BY AHS LAX AND RELEASEES TO BE ON PREMISES AND TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ACTIVITIES.

10) I hereby further agree that this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.

11) Electronic, email or facsimile signatures on this Agreement shall be construed for all purposes as original signatures.

12). If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during this Agreement, the legality, validity, and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby, and in lieu of each such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision there shall be automatically added, as part of this Agreement, a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

13). This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All such counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one instrument, but in making proof hereof it shall only be necessary to produce one such counterpart.

BY SIGNING THIS Infectious Disease Waiver of Liability, Release of Claims, Indemnity and Hold Harmless Agreement, I ACKNOWLEDGE AND REPRESENT THAT I have read the foregoing Agreement, understand it and sign it voluntarily as my own free act and deed; no oral representations, statements or inducements, apart from the foregoing written agreement, have been made.

If under age eighteen (18), a parent or guardian must sign indicating their assumption of legal and financial responsibility for my participation in any of the Activities; and I execute this Agreement for full, adequate and complete consideration fully intending to be bound by same.
