AGREEMENT REGARDING PARTICIPATION, ASSUMPTION OF RISKS, WAIVER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY, AND INDEMNIFICATION

The purpose of this agreement (“Agreement”) is to enable parents and children to give informed consent for players to participate in the lacrosse program (the “Program”), including but not limited to practices, games, and tournaments with Hillsboro United Girls Lacrosse, Inc. (“Hillsboro United”) and to confirm the agreement of the player and the parents regarding assumption of risks, waiver and release of liability, and indemnification, as an express condition of each player’s participation in the Program.

RISKS: I agree and understand that there are significant risks (some known and others unknown or unforeseeable) associated with participation in the Program. These risks include the possibility of injuries that can occur for a variety of reasons and under a variety of circumstances related to the Program. Such risks include, but are not limited to, the risks of injury; disability; paralysis or even death resulting from causes including, without limitation, the physical condition and health (known or unknown) of the player; field conditions; actions of players on opposing teams; weather; improper techniques in executing the skills needed to play the game of lacrosse; actions of teammates or spectators; hazards inherent in a sport involving potential physical contact; improper or malfunctioning equipment; improper or inadequate training or coaching; and the negligence of Hillsboro United volunteers or others Released Parties identified below.

INSURANCE: Hillsboro United strongly recommends that all players who participate in the Program have personal medical/accident insurance coverage providing, at a minimum, benefits covering medical services, hospitalization, and related services, medications, equipment, etc.  I acknowledge that it is strongly recommended that my child has current medical/accident insurance coverage and that such coverage will be maintained for the duration of my child’s participation in the Program

EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT: Participation in lacrosse involves the potential for serious injury. As a parent or legal guardian, I authorize the Hillsboro United coaches, agents, volunteers, and/or medical persons to arrange for, make decisions, or render care for any emergency due to injury or illness including aid car, EMS, or emergency room transportation, hospitalization and consultation or treatment by a medical professional or specialist regarding emergency medical treatment for my child in the event that neither of the child's parents/guardians can be reached at a time when any such decisions need to be made while my child is participating in the Program. I confirm that my child is healthy and able to participate in the Program and has had the opportunity to consult with a physician on this subject if I chose to do so.

US LACROSSE MEMBERSHIP:  As a condition of participation in the Program, all players must be current, active members of US Lacrosse for the duration of the Program. I acknowledge that my child has an active membership with US Lacrosse for the duration of the Program.
