Parents/Guardians are responsible for their own health insurance policy. We understand this shall relieve the Sponsor, BREC, and all coaches from financial responsibility resulting from an injury or incident. BREC suggests that participants have a complete physical exam before practice begins. The BREC rules state that no player for this team can be on the roster of any other team for the season. We also understand that any attempt to falsify a player’s age will result in the entire team being made to forfeit all games played, and the child being suspended from all BREC sponsored programs indefinitely. A current picture, Original Birth Certificate, and copy of the original birth certificate are required for any child that participates in BREC sports.

(I) (We) do hereby RELEASE and forever DISCHARGE the said Baton Rouge Recreation and Park Commission (hereinafter referred to as “BREC) and its agents, officers, and employees, from all claims, demands, damages and claims for relief on account of any and all injuries which may exist or which hereinafter arise from participating in an activity or use of the BREC facility, even if such injury results from the negligence of BREC, its officers, agents, and employees, or from a defect in the premises. In addition, I grant to BREC, its representatives and employees the right to take photographs/videos of my child in connection with this program. I agree that BREC may use such photographs/videos of my child with or without their name and for any lawful purpose, including for example such purposes as publicity, illustration, advertising, and Web content. I received information in accordance with the Youth Concussion Act #314.

Your child cannot participate with a team until this contract and the birth certificate are submitted and recorded by BREC’s Athletic Department.
