Scholastic Rugby Athlete Registration

As a custodial parent or legal guardian of the minor participant, I and my child understand that participation in rugby activities is a privilege not a right. In consideration for the privilege of participation in rugby activities governed by Panther City Rugby and other collaborating rugby clubs (herein after "Club Rugby"), I and my child acknowledge and agree to the following as indicated by a check.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RISK *

I and my child fully understand that Rugby, like all sports, involve risks and dangers of SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, INCLUDING PERMANENT DISABILITY, PARALYSIS AND DEATH (“Risks”). These risks and dangers may be caused by my or my child’s own actions or inactions, the actions or inactions of others participating in activities which include coaches, referees and/or spectators, the conditions in which a Rugby activity takes place (such as, but not limited to, exposure to adverse weather conditions and/or high altitude; flaws and defects in equipment and facilities; irregular field conditions; and negligent field maintenance, negligent officiating, negligent coaching and negligent participation) and/or the negligence of the “Releasees” named below. I and my child fully understand that there may be other risks and social and economic losses either not known to me or my child or not readily foreseeable at this time; and I and my child FULLY ACCEPT AND ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS AND ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE LOSSES, COSTS, AND DAMAGES. I and my child understand the nature and dangers of Rugby activities.

ASSUMPTION OF RISK *

As a custodial parent or legal guardian, I am fully aware of my child’s athletic experience and physical capabilities and believe that he / she is qualified to participate in Rugby competitions and related activities. I further agree/warrant that if at any time I or my child believe conditions to be unsafe, my child will immediately cease further participation in the Rugby activity, report the issue to the coach or nearest administrator, and seek medical care as directed or indicated. I AND MY CHILD CONSENT TO PARTICIPATION IN RUGBY ACTIVITIES AND FULLY ACCEPT AND ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS AND ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSSES, COSTS, AND DAMAGES incurred as a result of such participation.

RELEASE & INDEMNIFICATION *

I HEREBY RELEASE, DISCHARGE, COVENANT NOT TO SUE, AND AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND SAVE AND HOLD HARMLESS PANTHER CITY RUGBY AND OTHER COLLABORATING RUGBY CLUBS, AND ANY ORGANIZATION THEY MAY BE AFFILIATED WITH, along with their respective administrators, directors, agents, officers, volunteers, and employees, as well as other participants, any sponsors, advertisers, and, if applicable, owners and lessors of premises on which any activity takes place (each considered one of the “Releasees” herein) from all liability, claims, demands, losses, or damages on my or my child’s account caused or alleged to be caused in whole or in part by the negligence of the Releasees or otherwise, including negligent rescue operations and further agree that if, despite this release, I or anyone on my child’s behalf make a claim against any of the Releasees named herein, I WILL INDEMNIFY, SAVE AND HOLD HARMLESS EACH OF THE RELEASEES FROM ANY LITIGATION EXPENSES, ATTORNEY FEES, LOSS LIABILITY, DAMAGE OR COSTS THAT MAY BE INCURRED AS THE RESULT OF ANY SUCH CLAIM.

MEDICAL INSURANCE AGREEMENT *

I acknowledge that is my responsibility to ensure that my child is covered by medical insurance that has a RECOMMENDED MINIMUM OF $100,000 IN MEDICAL COVERAGE, with NO RESTRICTIONS FOR ACCIDENTS WHILE PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS AND RELATED ACTIVITIES. I understand such insurance will be my primary source of payment should medical treatment be necessary as a result of my child’s participation in rugby related activities. I acknowledge that excess medical insurance may be available through USA Rugby for injuries that occur during participation in sanctioned rugby activities. I understand that such insurance is intended to supplement the primary medical insurance that I have secured for my child to help cover medical costs up to $10,000.

RELEASE OF LIABILITY FOR PUBLICITY OF IMAGE OR INFORMATION *

To communicate upcoming activities and changes to them, I authorize Panther City Rugby and other collaborating rugby clubs to contact me and/or my child via text message, email, or telephone. I understand that I may withdraw consent to collection, use or disclosure of my personal information at any time by contacting Panther City Rugby at President@PantherCityRugby.com or by mail at Panther City Rugby, PO Box 470066, Fort Worth, TX 76147.
