WARNING of Inherent Dangers and Consent to Play

(Prior to participating, both the student and parent must read carefully & acknowledge risk associated with athletic participation)

I am aware that athletics is a high-risk sport and that practicing or competing in athletics will be a dangerous activity involving MANY RISKS OF INJURY outside the control of myself or coaches.

I understand the dangers and risks of practicing and competing in athletics include but are not limited to, death, serious neck and spinal injuries which may result in complete or partial paralysis, brain damage, serious injury to virtually all internal organs, serious injury to virtually all bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons and other aspects of the muscular skeletal system, and serious injury or impairment to other aspects of my body, general health and well-being

 I understand that the dangers and risks of practicing or competing in athletics may result not only in serious injury, but in a serious impairment of my future abilities to earn a living, to engage in other business, social and recreational activities and generally to enjoy life.  I also understand that the sport in which I participate may be so inherently dangerous that no amount of reasonable supervision, protective equipment or training can eliminate all vestiges of danger.  I am informed the School does not assume the responsibility for the medical services required for these risks.

Because of the dangers of athletics, I recognize the importance of following the coaches’ instructions regarding techniques, training and other team rules, etc., and to agree to obey such instructions.

Regarding athletics, engaging in all activities related to the team, including but not limited to trying out, practicing or competition, I have read the above warnings and I understand their terms and give my consent to participate.  

In the event of a serious injury, if your family physician is not available or cannot be located, As Parent or Legal Guardian, I authorize the team physician/Certified Athletic Trainer or in their absence a qualified physician to administer emergency care and to arrange for any consultation by a specialist, including a surgeon, he/she deems necessary to assure proper care of any injury. Every effort will be made to contact  a parent or guardian to explain the nature of the problem prior to any involved treatment. It is understood that this authorization is given in advance of any specific diagnosis, treatment or hospital care being required, but is given to provide authority and power on the part of school authorities and aforesaid agent(s) to give reasonable care.  

CONCUSSION AGREEMENTS

CONCUSSION-RETURN TO PARTICIPATION MEDICAL RELEASE: I have read and understand the Concussion-Return to Participation Medical Release form and information. I understand that until an athlete, who has suffered a concussion, is no longer experiencing signs, symptoms, or behaviors consistent with a concussion, and a medical release form signed by an appropriate Health Care Professional (Physician (MD), Physician’s Assistant (PA), Doctor of Osteopathic (DO) licensed by the Oregon State Board of Medicine, nurse practitioner licensed by the Oregon State Board of Nursing, or Psychologist licensed by the Oregon Board of Psychologist Examiners) is obtained, the athlete shall not be permitted to return to athletic activity.

PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT AGREEMENT

Regis High School strives to encourage sportsmanship throughout its athletic programs. The school expects all parents and spectators to be respectful of opponents, players, coaches, and officials. Therefore, as the parent of a Regis student-athlete, I (and my guest) agree to the following:

I will be a positive role model for my child and encourage good sportsmanship by showing respect for and courtesy to all players, coaches and officials at every game, practice or other sporting events

I will not engage in any unsportsmanlike conduct with officials, coaches, players, parents or opposing teams. I will not argue with or berate a coach, game official, student-athlete, or fan from Regis High or opposing school.

I will not coach my student-athlete or any other players during practices, games or other Regis Ram events.

I will place the emotional and physical well-being of my child ahead of any personal desire to win

I will not use profane or offensive language or gestures at any Regis High athletic practice, game or sporting event

I will remain in the spectator’s area and will not enter the playing area or locker room during any practice or competition, before and after contests, except with the explicit permission of a Regis High coach, Athletic Director, Athletic Trainer or on-site administrator

I will support and encourage student-athletes to follow the rules and behavioral guidelines as published in the Regis High Student-Parent Handbook.

When a situation or conflict arises, I will follow these guidelines:

1) My student-athlete child will first discuss the concern with the coach.

2) If the coach/student-athlete meeting does not clear the situation, I will respectfully bring my concerns to the coach in a timely manner. The student-athlete must be present with the parent during the parent-coach meeting.

3) Parents who wish to meet with the coach shall contact the coach and set a time to meet. Meeting times to be avoided: Either immediately prior to or immediately after a contest. During an active practice session. During a time when other students are present or when the discussion is readily visible or audible by others. When it’s apparent that there is not sufficient time to allow for a complete discussion.

4) If further discussion is necessary, the Athletic Director/Administrator is the next contact.

I will support and encourage student-athletes to follow the rules and behavioral guidelines as published in the Regis Student-Parent and Athletic Handbooks.
