Passaic Sports Medicine
I am aware that trying out, practicing, or playing in any sport can be a dangerous activity involving many risks or injuries. I acknowledge the fact that, to the best of my knowledge, my child has no physical condition that would prevent them from athletic participation. I understand that the dangers and risks include, but are not limited to, death, serious head, neck, and spinal injuries, paralysis, injuries or impairment to the musculoskeletal system, or other aspects of the body, general health, and well-being.
Due to associated risks of participating in sports, I will discuss with our child the importance of following the instructions of the athletic department personnel regarding playing techniques, training, and rules of equipment use. Additionally, I will discuss with our child that all injuries/illnesses that occur during official athletic participation (including all regularly scheduled practices and competitions) must be reported to the athletic trainer or coach immediately.
I hereby grant permission, in the case of an emergency, for my child to be transported, examined and/or treated at the local medical center or hospital by a certified physician. Passaic Athletics Staff will notify myself or another emergency contact in case of such circumstance.
Additionally, I hereby authorize the Passaic School District Athletic Trainer, who is under the direction and guidance of the Passaic Board of Education Team Physician, to render to our child any preventive measures for injuries, first aid, treatment, rehabilitation, emergency treatment, and/or telehealth/telemedicine that they deem reasonable and necessary to the health and well-being of our child.
Please note that the Passaic Team Physian will determine the playing status of any injured player.
It is with my consent and approval that my child will be allowed to
participate in Passaic BOE Athletics, including team travel for the school year.
