Please read the disclaimer carefully and be prepared to copy it at tryouts. Disclaimer: I understand that by the very nature of the activity, cheerleading poses a risk for physical injury. The risk of injury includes minor injuries such as muscle pulls, dislocation, and broken bones. The risk also can include catastrophic injuries such as permanent paralysis or even death from landing or falls on the back, neck, or head. I understand that no matter what precautions are taken by the coaches, nor the amount of training received by the athlete, can eliminate these risks. I understand these risks and will not hold LHS or any of its personnel responsible in the case of accident or injury at any time. Most importantly, I will respect and accept the final decision of the coaches at the conclusion of tryouts as well as throughout the season in all aspects of the sport, including, but not limited to team selection, playing time, practice schedules, etc. Student Signature: Date: Parent Signature: Date:
