USA Rugby Covid 19 Release

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact, but the virus can also live on surfaces. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people and the engagement in contact activities such as sport. Individual states and communities are making decisions as to what they believe the appropriate level of personal interaction in their jurisdiction should be in accordance with the local health guidelines. USA Rugby directs all potential players, participants, officials and spectators to follow the advice, regulations and rules associated with their individual locales rules and regulations. Rugby matches, trainings and events held which violate these local rules and regulations will be deemed to be unsanctioned events and thus prohibited gatherings for USA Rugby insurance and certification purposes.

At sanctioned events, USA Rugby (“USAR”) has directed that preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19 be put into place; however, USAR cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending USAR sanctioned events could increase your risk and your child(ren)’s risk of contracting COVID-19. By checking the acknowledgement below you are in agreement with the following statement:

I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my child(ren) and I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending USAR sanctioned matches, trainings or events (“Events”) and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at Events may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, USAR or local rugby employees, volunteers, players and participants and their families. I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my child(ren) or myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I or my child(ren) may experience or incur in connection with my or my child(ren)’s attendance at USAR Events or participation in USAR programming (“Claims”). On my behalf, and on behalf of my children, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless USAR, its employees, directors, managers, attorneys, agents, and representatives, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of USAR, its employees, directors, managers, attorneys, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any Event.

I further warrant that neither I nor, my children have tested positive for the COVID-19 infection / virus, nor are we experiencing symptoms associated with COVID-19. Should we test positive or become symptomatic, we hereby understand that our attendance at any USAR Events are prohibited.


Rugby Colorado Authorization to Consent to Medical Treatment for Minor

In connection with my (our) child’s participation in the game of rugby, I (we) hereby grant permission for any and all emergency/medical/dental treatment and/or first aid to be administered to my child/participant, including authorizing any medical treatment facility/hospital to administer emergency treatment, for any illness/injury/accident resulting from participation in any Rugby activities. If an emergency requiring medical attention occurs, I grant permission to a physician or other hospital or emergency personnel to attend to my child/participant. I do authorize the diagnosis, treatment and or hospital care of my child in the event of an accident, injury, sickness, etc. I hereby assume the responsibility for payment of any such treatment. In the event of an injury to the participant, I expect that reasonable effort will be made to contact me in order to receive my authorization before any non-emergency medical treatment or hospitalization is undertaken.


Rugby Colorado Conduct and Sportsmanship Acknowledgment

Taunting is considered any action(s), display(s), gesture(s) or comment(s) by coaches, players or spectators that are intended to bait, anger, embarrass, ridicule or demean others (including referees), whether or not the deeds or words are vulgar or racist. Taunting is any action(s), display(s), gesture(s) or comment(s) before, during or following competition, including pre-game rituals and post game handshakes. Penalties under these rules may include ejection or other penalties for flagrant unsportsmanlike offenses including review by the Rugby Colorado Disciplinary Committee. This simply will not be tolerated!!

Coaches must take immediate and direct action in eliminating this type of conduct. A responsible coach will not allow this, and react swiftly when it occurs. When a coach takes no action, he/she is simply sending the message that this type of conduct is acceptable behavior. Allowing players to commit acts of taunting without reprimand or removal from the game is equivalent to telling the player that this type of conduct is acceptable. Taunting is contrary to the basic concept of fair play and the spirit of the game. Taunting is exactly opposite the type of conduct which participation in rugby is intended to teach.

Players who represent their teams are ambassadors of their club, Rugby Colorado, USA Rugby, as well of the game of rugby in general. As such, each player is expected to be on good, responsible behavior at all times, both on and off the field.

Players should not exhibit obnoxious, impolite or antisocial behavior (dangerous play) of any sort that would adversely affect the image of the game as a serious and disciplined endeavor. This includes verbal abuse of opponents or referees by coaches, players, parents or their supporters.

A player or parent must not before, during or after a match under the jurisdiction of an affiliated Union or Society threaten or address a referee or touch judge in insulting terms, or act in a provocative manner towards a fellow player, parent, spectator, referee or touch judge.

Referees and touch judges must likewise treat coaches, players and parents with equal respect.

All players, parents and supporters must respect the ground rules that are in effect at any particular match, such as prohibitions against having alcohol on school grounds and in public parks.

AT NO TIME WILL ALCOHOL OR DRUGS BE ALLOWED AT ANY HIGH SCHOOL MATCH BY PLAYERS, COACHES OR OTHER MEMBERS OF A TEAM.
Violations of this Code of Conduct will be immediately addressed by the Rugby Colorado Disciplinary Committee. All sanctions by the Rugby Colorado Disciplinary Committee will be enforced by the committee and appropriate coaching staff.


Rugby Colorado Assumption of the Risk and Waiver of Liability relating to Coronavirus/COVID-19

1. The contagious nature of COVID-19 and that I or members of my family may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending any rugby activities and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. I further understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at any rugby events/activities may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to Coaches, Referees, Trainers, Volunteers, and other participants and their families.

2. USA Rugby and Rugby Colorado have issued a Return to Play Guidelines for a staged approach to returning to rugby activities, due to the pandemic declaration of the World Health Organization, which includes but is not limited to contact practices, all matches, all tournaments, including Touch/Tag/Flag Rugby. I understand it is my responsibility to review the documents and to abide by the guidance within.

I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept the sole responsibility for any injury to my child(ren) or myself, including but not limited to, personal injury, disability, death, illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense of any kind, that I or my child(ren) and family may experience or incur in connection with my child(ren)’s attendance and/or participation in any rugby activity. On my behalf, and on behalf of my child(ren), I hereby release, covenant to not sue, discharge, and hold harmless USA Rugby, Rugby Colorado, and any employees, agents, and representatives, of and from any claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating to participation in or attendance of rugby activities and the associated risk of COVID-19. I understand and agree that this release includes any claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of USA Rugby, Rugby Colorado, and any employees, agents, and representatives related to COVID-19, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in or attendance of any rugby activity/event.
