By its very nature, competitive athletics can put youths in situations in which SERIOUS, CATASTROPHIC, and perhaps FATAL accidents could occur.

Youths and parents/guardian must assess the risks involved in such participation and make their choice to participate in spite of those risks. No amount of instruction, precaution, or supervision will totally eliminate all risk of injury. Just as driving an automobile involves choice of risk; participation in athletics is inherently dangerous. The obligation of parents and youths in making this choice to participate cannot be over-stated.

By granting permission to your son/daughter to participate in a rugby league competition, a parent or guardian acknowledges that playing or practicing in this sport can be a dangerous activity involving MANY RISKS OF INJURY. Both the youth and parent must understand that the dangers and risks of playing or practicing to play include but are not limited to, death, complete or partial paralysis, brain damage, serious injury to virtually all internal organs, bones, joints, ligaments muscles, tendons and other aspects of the skeletal system and potential impairment to other aspects of the body, general health and well being.

Because of the dangers of participation in rugby, we (parent and youth) recognize the importance of following coaches’ instructions regarding playing techniques, training, equipment and other team rules, etc. both in competition and practice and agree to obey such instructions.

If any of the foregoing is not completely understood and you have questions, please contact your coach for further information.

At the beginning of the club season of practice both the youth and parent need to be informed in writing of the above information. The club must require that both the youth and the parent sign and date this sheet of paper acknowledging that they have read the above statement and understand it thoroughly. This paper with signatures will be kept on file with the coach.

 

I have read and understand the information above and give my son/daughter permission to participate in rugby.
