1. I, the undersigned coach, desire to participate in the following SCDA course or activities at Fort Mill High School that require/s, dancing and physical activities (“the Activities”). These activities may take place at various locations that are not owned or controlled by the Association. I fully understand and appreciate the dangers, hazards, and risks inherent in the Activities and in any additional physical exertion or exercise that I may undertake supplemental to any such Activity. These dangers, hazards, and risks can result in injury and impairment to my body, general health and wellbeing, and could include serious or even fatal injuries, illnesses or medical conditions.
2. Knowing the dangers, hazards, and risks of such endeavors, and in consideration of being permitted to participate in the Activities, on behalf of myself, my family, spouse, heirs, and personal representative(s) (the “Releasors”), I agree to assume all the risks and responsibilities surrounding my participation in the Activities, the transportation to and from an Activity, and in any additional physical exertion or exercise or other acts undertaken as supplemental to any such Activities. On behalf of myself and the Releasors I hereby release, waive, forever discharge, and covenant not to sue the State of South Carolina, SC Dance Association, Fort Mill High School and its trustees, officers, agents, employees and any students acting as employees (“Releasors”), for any harm, injury, damage, claims, demands, actions, causes of action, costs, and expenses of any nature that I may have or that may hereafter accrue to me or a Releasor, arising out of or related to the Activities, any act supplemental to an Activity, or for any occurrence while I am in transit to or from the premises where an Activity or supplemental act occurs or is being conducted.
3. I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Releases from and against any loss, liability, damage or cost, including court costs and attorney's fees that the Releases may incur due to my participation in the Activities.
4. It is my expressed intent that this LIABILITY RELEASE, EMERGENCY MEDICAL AUTHORIZATION, AND AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) shall bind me, the members of my family and spouse, if I am alive, and my estate, family, heirs, administrators, personal representatives, or assigns, if I am deceased, and shall be deemed as a legally binding release, waiver, discharge and covenant not to sue the Releasors.
5. I understand, agree and hereby grant Releasors permission to authorize emergency medical treatment for me, if necessary, and that such action by Releasors shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

I have adequate health insurance necessary to provide for and pay any medical costs that may arise as a result of an injury to me. I recognize that the SC Dance Association/Fort Mill High School is not obligated to provide for any of my medical or medication needs or insurance and that I assume all risk and responsibility for those needs.
