Parent Contract:

 As a parent/guardian I acknowledge that I have read the Southridge Youth Competition Team Information Packet for the 2014-2015 Season. I understand and endorse the expectations and requirements set forth in the packet for my daughter to be a member of the SYC Competition Team.  I have read the financial expectations for being a part of the SYC Comp Team. I understand that if my daughter is selected for the team, I will be responsible for paying these expenses in order for my daughter to be allowed to participate.  I recognize that as a result of participation, medical treatment on an emergency basis may be necessary and team personnel may be unable to contact a parent for consent in an emergency medical situation. I do hereby consent in advance to such emergency care, including hospital care, as deemed necessary under the existing circumstances.  I understand that by the very nature of the activity, cheerleading and tumbling carry a risk of physical injury. No matter how careful the participant and coach are, how many spotters are used, or what landing surface is used, the risk cannot be eliminated. The risk of injury includes minor injuries such as muscle pulls, dislocation and broken bones. The risk also includes catastrophic injuries such as permanent paralysis or even death from landing or falling on the back neck, or head. I understand these risks and will not hold the Beaverton School District, Southridge Youth Cheer, or any other agents responsible in the case of accident or injury at any time.
