10 Dear Parents/Guardians: CHALLENGER MIDDLE SCHOOL SPORTS CONSTITUTION Please take the time to read the following information. These guidelines have been developed to help insure that our athletic seasons are safe and successful here at Challenger. Please read these guidelines with your child and sign the attached signature form specifying that you understand and will participate in our athletic events appropriately. This completed form must be turned in to the athletic office prior to participation in Challenger athletics. Thank you for your assistance, and please feel free to call Jillian Peel, Athletic Director, with any questions or concerns at SPORTS CONSTITUTION Although transportation is provided to away games, Challenger will not provide transportation back to CMS after the game/meet. Please make prior arrangements to pick athletes up from away competitions. There will NOT be any activity buses. All athletes must be picked up at the designated time for their sport (normally 4:15 for intramural teams and 5:45 for interscholastic teams). Supervision is not provided beyond 15 minutes after the end of practice. Also, supervision is not provided beyond 15 minutes after the conclusion of all athletic events. Students must be in attendance for at least half of the day (3.5 hours) in order to participate in after school activities. Students leaving school early due to illness or a non-approved reason will not be allowed to attend or participate in any athletic activity on that day. At Challenger, academics are our top priority. Athletes that have failing grades in any class will not participate in the games/meets for the following week. If there are discipline problems in school it may impact a player s playing time. If discipline is a constant problem, your child may be dismissed from the team. All athletes and spectators will be held to the highest of standards with regards to sportsmanship. Please be courteous and use positive remarks toward game officials, coaches, players and visiting teams. Remember parents, you are a role model for your child and are also representing Challenger. Interscholastic athletes are selected and playing time is based on hard work, attitude and skill level. Some athletes may get more playing time than others. Please abide by our 24 hour rule, which states that if you have concerns with a coach, you need to make an appointment with that coach for the day following the game or practice. Immediately after a game is usually not a good time to have a discussion with the coach. Please refrain from coaching your child from the sideline. Team pictures will be made available by an unaffiliated photography studio. You are not obligated to purchase these pictures. HEALTH INFORMATION FOR PARENTS OF SCHOOL-AGED ATHLETES FROM ACADEMY DISTRICT #20 NURSES It is the parent's responsibility to notify the coach/athletic trainer of any health conditions of their athlete.

11 RELEASE FOR SCHOOL SPONSORED CLUBS AND INTRAMURAL SPORT ACTIVITIES Academy School District Twenty strives to provide a safe environment for school approved clubs and intramural sport activities that will stimulate and challenger students; we cannot guarantee an accident will not occur. Voluntary participation in supervised school clubs and sport activities may be one of the least hazardous environments any student is involved in. However, participation in some clubs and sports (e.g., karate, skate board, etc.), includes an inherent risk of injury which may range in severity from minor to long-term catastrophic injury. Although serious injuries are not common in supervised programs, it is impossible to eliminate all risk. Students participating in a club or sport activity must obey all safety rules, report all physical problems to the club or sport activity supervisor and shall be responsible for the safe condition of their own equipment. By signing this permission form, we acknowledge that we have read and understand this warning and understand the inherent risks associated with this club or sport activity. We further understand that we are responsible for obtaining any medical, accident, or other insurance that we deem appropriate; the district does not provide student accident insurance. The District makes available to parents student accident insurance information which may be purchased at parent's expense. I understand that the School District and its employees may have certain legal protections and immunities from liability with respect to any property damage or personal injury that may occur during the activity. The School District and its employees have not waived these protections and immunities. I understand that the School District and its employees may also have certain legal obligations with respect to the activity. By agreeing to this form, I am not releasing the School District and its employees from any of their legal obligations. However, on behalf of myself, my student, and our family and representatives, I release and hold harmless the School District and its employees from and against all claims for any damages or injuries incurred by my student from any cause, including but not limited to my student's own misconduct or the actions or omissions of third parties. I understand that for purposes of this Release, the term "employees" includes the School District's directors, employees, servants, and volunteers. PARENT OR GUARDIAN PERMISSION In the event of an emergency, I (we) the undersigned parent or legal guardian give my (our) permission to school authorities to perform first aid and/or arrange for emergency medical services. Warning: Although participation in supervised intramural/interscholastic athletics and activities may be one of the least hazardous in which any student will engage in or out of school, by its nature, participation in intramural/interscholastic athletics includes a risk of injury which may range in severity from minor to long-term catastrophic. Although serious injuries are not common in supervised school athletic programs, it is impossible to eliminate this risk. Participants can and have the responsibility to help reduce the chance of injury. Players must obey all safety rules, report all physical problems to their coaches, follow a proper conditioning program, and inspect their own equipment daily. By signing this Permission Form we acknowledge that we have read and understood this warning.
