I understand that American Football is a collision sport involving impacts
of considerable force. I confirm that my participation in the sport can be potentially dangerous and the likelihood of injury is constantly present. I hereby voluntarily consent to my participation in all club practise sessions, games and fitness testing. I understand that participating in any of the above mentioned sessions could involve progressively higher levels of physical activity and that I may be encouraged to work at maximum effort.
I confirm that I am responsible for monitoring my own condition throughout my participation in games, practise and all physical testing. Should any unusual symptoms occur, such as but not limited to chest discomfort, nausea, difficulty in breathing, dizziness, light headedness, irregular heart beat and joint or muscle injury, I will cease my participation and inform the test administrator, trainer and/or coach of the symptoms.
Also, in consideration of being allowed to participate in club games, practise sessions and all physical testing sessions, I confirm that I have disclosed all medical issues relating to my health and I agree to assume all potential risks from such participation and hereby release and hold harmless Gateshead
Senators and their agents and employees, from any and all health/medical issues that may be aggravated or arise from my participation in any physical activity organised by the club.
I have read the foregoing carefully and I understand its content. Any questions which may have occurred to me concerning this informed consent have been answered to my satisfaction.
