It is a good idea to bring food and drink with you to tryouts. This day will be stressful and participants won't be allowed to leave during it. 3. Make sure you are putting yourself out there during the clinic as well as the tryout itself. Judges may be in attendance for all or part of the clinic and may be making first cuts if they see fit. 4. Make sure you are always alert to those around you. Safety is the #1 priority and we want everyone to have a safe and enjoyable time. 5. We strongly suggest attending our pre-tryout clinic prior to tryouts.

Athletics Health Insurance Info & Attached Questionnaire (1) Rev 11/17

Health Insurance Requirements for Student Athletes

Every year, CSN Athletics requires the athlete and his/her parent or guardian to:

What does the athlete need for eligibility? A comprehensive medical or health insurance plan. CSN Athletics requires that all student athletes maintain a comprehensive health insurance plan with hospital, professional and extended benefits. The plan MUST provide:

• Full coverage in the state of Nevada.

• Out of state and/or out of area coverage for injuries during any away games or practices; and

• Coverage for intercollegiate sports-related injury or illness.

Who normally supplies health insurance coverage for athletes?

Employer group health insurance plans - This coverage is normally provided for the athlete by the employer of the athlete’s parent or guardian. Coverage is typically comprehensive. Individual health insurance plans – This coverage is arranged and purchased by the athlete. It is important for the athlete to select a comprehensive health insurance plan that meets the eligibility requirements above. State Medicaid insurance plans – Out-of-state Medicaid plans DO NOT meet CSN Athletics requirements. Although Medicaid plans provide comprehensive coverage within the plan’s state, they rarely provide coverage in another state. The athlete must obtain the equivalent Medicaid coverage in Nevada to meet the eligibility requirements.

Who is responsible for maintaining the athlete’s health insurance coverage?

Both the athlete and his/her parent or guardian. Both are responsible for maintaining a comprehensive health insurance plan that meets CSN Athletics' requirements for the duration of the athlete’s participation in intercollegiate sports. One or both must immediately report to CSN Athletic Trainers any discontinued coverage or change in plans by completing a new Athletic Insurance Questionnaire and submitting a new insurance I.D. card so the information on file at CSN is always current.

What happens when an athlete is injured?

1. Immediately after the injury, the athlete must report to a CSN Athletic Trainer who will examine the injuryand refer, if necessary, to the team physician. The team physician may suggest or initiate further referral toother medical consultants. In situations where the athlete cannot see the Athletic Trainer immediately, theathlete must inform the Athletic Trainer about the injury and any treatment received as soon as possible. Itis the athlete’s responsibility to assure that the Athletic Trainer is notified.

The athlete receives medical treatment under the athlete’s comprehensive health insurance plan, and isresponsible for paying all deductibles, co-pays and uncovered medical expenses.

2.

1. Complete and sign the Athletics Insurance Questionnaire (see form on next page);

2. Provide copy of the front and back of the athlete’s valid insurance I.D. card; and

3. Immediately report discontinued or any change to athlete’s health insurance coverage that may arise duringthe year to CSN Athletic Trainers.

4. The athlete must maintain health insurance coverage the entire year to participate in intercollegiate sportsat College of Southern Nevada. CSN does not provide secondary insurance.

College of Southern Nevada Consent for Medical Treatment

I (Athlete’s Name): _______________________________ hereby give my consent for any medical treatment that may be required for any injury or illness that I may sustain or acquire while engaged in collegiate athletics as a player for the College of Southern Nevada1 (CSN). I understand that the personnel of CSN will evaluate and treat any injuries that occur during my athletic participation at CSN within their training, credentialing, and scope of professional practice to prevent, care for, and rehabilitate athletic injuries.

I understand that CSN may from time to time utilize athletic training students, medical residents, medical students, dental students, nurse practitioner students and nursing students in my care under the supervision of a certified athletic trainer, physician/dentist or nurse practitioner. I understand that outside medical professionals may also be consulted as deemed necessary for my care. For coordination of my care and services, I understand that I may be provided with referrals to off campus specialists.

Informed Consent: If any condition requires an outpatient surgical procedure, the practitioner responsible for my care will explain to me the procedure to be performed, the general nature and extent of risks involved in such procedure and the alternative methods, if any.

I understand that if I sustain a potentially life threatening injury or illness, and in the event that my emergency contact is unable to be contacted within a reasonable period of time, I do hereby appoint an appropriate official of CSN as my attorney in fact to make any and all decisions which he or she believes to be in my best interest as to the obtaining of emergency medical care, and I fully release them from any liability for such decisions or actions as may be taken under those circumstances.

STUDENT ATHLETE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY

Rev. 08/2017

I am aware that playing or practicing to play/participate in any sport can be a dangerous activity involving many risks of injury. I acknowledge that even with the best coaching, use of the most advanced protective equipment and strict observance of rules, injuries are still a possibility. I understand that the dangers and risks of playing or practicing to play/participate in sports include, but are not limited to: death, serious neck and spinal injuries which may result in complete or partial paralysis, brain damage, serious injury to virtually all internal organs, serious injury to all bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons and other aspects of the musculoskeletal system, and serious injury or impairment to other aspects of my body, general health and well-being. I understand that the degree and risks of playing or practicing to play/participate in sport may result not only in serious injury, but in a serious impairment of my future abilities to earn a living, to engage in other business, social and recreational activities and generally enjoy life.

I also acknowledge that it is essential for my well-being that I not participate or practice to play/participate in the above sport unless I am in good health and physical condition. With this in mind I have truthfully answered the questions on the Medical History Survey, and I have advised the Athletics Director of any limitations on my activities for medical reasons.

Because of the dangers of participating in the above sport, I recognize the importance of following coaches’ instructions regarding playing technique, training and other team rules, etc., and agree to obey such instructions. I also understand that it is my responsibility to inform my coach or the athletic training staff of any conditions or equipment that I consider to be unsafe. Further, I recognize the importance of following orders given by physicians and athletic trainers regarding any limitations or treatments they feel necessary for my health and well-being.

In consideration of College of Southern Nevada (CSN) permitting me to try out for /participate on the CSN athletic team(s) and to engage in all activities related to the team, including but not limited to, trying out, practicing in or playing/participating in that sport, I hereby assume all risks associated with participation and agree to hold the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education, its officers, employees, agents, representatives, coaches, physicians, athletic trainers, and volunteers harmless from any and all liability, actions, causes of action, debts, claims or demands of any kind and nature whatsoever which may arise by or in connection with my participation in any activities related to CSN athletic team(s). The terms hereof shall serve as a release and assumption of risk for my heirs, estate, executor, administrator, assignees and all members of my family.
