Athletic Registration Form

Corvallis School District 509J-offered athletic and activity opportunities (herein referred to as “Activity/ies”) can provide unique and important educational opportunities for students. However, there are inherent risks to such activities, some of which cannot be eliminated due to the inherent nature of the activities. I understand that participation in athletic and activity programs is purely voluntary, that there will be no negative repercussions for choosing not to participate, and that I am allowing my child to participate out of his/her/my own free will fully aware of the attendant risks associated with the Activity(ies) .

General Risk Exposure

I understand that participation in the named Activity(ies) is voluntary and will expose my child to risks, both foreseen and unforeseen, that could cause harm to my child, his/her/their property, and harm to other persons. Examples of risks include physical injury, emotional injury, property damage, economic loss, non-economic loss, and deprivation of rights, privileges, and immunities. I have reviewed the 2020-21 Code of Conduct for Athletics and Activities, related program rules, and any additional information provided and acknowledge I understand the risks to which my child may be exposed as a result of participation in the Activity(ies).

COVID-19 Exposure

The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. While rules, guidance, and personal discipline may reduce this risk, the risk of serious illness and death does exist. Corvallis School District 509J cannot completely mitigate the transfer of communicable diseases like COVID-19 especially when involved in Activity(ies). Participation in Activity(ies) includes possible exposure to and illness, injury, or death from infectious diseases including COVID-19.

Supervision

Furthermore, I understand and agree that during the Activity my child will be, at times, without direct supervision. I realize no amount of reasonable supervision or training can eliminate all the dangers of participation and that my child may suffer serious injury as a result of participation in events related to the identified Activity(ies). Notwithstanding this possibility, and with full knowledge and understanding of the risk of serious injury to my child as a result of participation I give my permission for my child to participate in the Activity(ies) listed above.

Travel

I give permission for my child named above to travel to and participate in the Activity(ies) listed above. Whenever possible, transportation to/from Activity(ies) events will be arranged via the district’s contracted transportation provider(s).

My child, named above, has my permission to be transported in a privately-owned car driven by a chaperone to or from any event related to the Activity(ies). I understand that any claim against Corvallis School District 509J, for all losses, damages, or harm of any kind resulting from a parent/guardian or other designated driver, arising from the operation of a motor vehicle in relation to this voluntary Activity(ies), is hereby waived.

Hold Harmless

In consideration for providing my child the opportunity to participate in the Activity(ies) and any related transportation to and from Activity(ies) events, both my child and I voluntarily agree to waive and discharge any and all claims against Corvallis School District 509J and release it from liability for any loss regardless of cause, including any exposure to or illness or injury from an infectious disease (including COVID-19), and including claims for any negligent actions of the district or its employees or agents, to the fullest extent allowed by law, for myself, my child, our estates, our heirs, our administrators, our executors, our assignees, and our successors.
