I understand the risk of concussions and ensure the player(s) will make an effort to recognize the symptoms and alert staff if they feel they may be experiencing a concussion. I have made my own investigation of these risks, understand these risks to the player, and assume them knowingly and willingly.
In consideration for being allowed to participate in the Clinic, I release, indemnify, and hold harmless Rhode Island Lacrosse, including the llc, its Trustees, Fellows, officers, employees, representatives, and agents, from and against any present or future claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses for personal injury, including death, property damage, or any other damage, including but not limited to exposure to and infection with COVID-19, which I may suffer, or for which I may be liable to any other person, related to the player(s) participation in the Clinic.

I understand that it is my responsibility to inform Rhode Island Lacrosse of any health conditions that may limit the player(s) ability to participate in the Clinic. I agree to instruct the player(s) to cease participating in the Clinic if they believe further participation poses a risk to their health or safety. In the event of illness or injury, I authorize Rhode Island Lacrosse and other agents of Rhode Island Lacrosse to coordinate emergency care or other medical treatment for the player(s) based on the existing circumstances.
I understand that the player(s) participation in the Clinic is subject to all policies, rules, and procedures of Rhode Island Lacrosse, the site of the Clinic, and/or as outlined for them by Rhode Island Lacrosse.
