NTX Scholastic Rugby Registration

I 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, Eagle Mountain Rugby, HEB Hurricanes 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. There may be other risks and social and economic losses either not known to me 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

ASSUMPTION OF RISK *

I and my child understand the nature and dangers of Rugby activities. 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.

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 activities governed by Panther City Rugby, Eagle Mountain Rugby, HEB Hurricanes Rugby, and other collaborating rugby clubs. I acknowledge that excess medical insurance may be available through Panther City 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. In the event that my child is not covered under a primary medical policy, I understand that I will be required to pay a deductible before any excess medical insurance is made available through Panther City Rugby. I further acknowledge that "catastrophic insurance" is not available to provide financial support in the event of long-term or permanent disability.

RELEASE OF LIABILITY FOR PUBLICITY OF IMAGE OR INFORMATION *
