RECOGNITION PROCEDURES - Club Sports Recognition Form Addendum

This form must be filled out by all club sports in addition to the usual Recognition Form.

1. To become a "Recognized Club Sport" and to receive the benefits enumerated by the College, all members of the club must sign and abide by this agreement. 2. A "Club Sport" is defined as a group of Smith College students voluntarily organized for the purpose of furthering and promoting their interest in a particular sport or athletic activity. The club may be recreational, instructional, or competitive in nature. Members display a variety of skill levels and may place varying degrees of emphasis on extramural competition. These groups are student-organized, administered and funded, providing opportunities for student initiative, leadership and development. 3. All members of the club must be enrolled for the current semester as full-time Five-College students. 4. The president/chair is responsible for submitting a proposed practice schedule and competition schedule to the Athletic Department by specified dates throughout the semester. 5. Each member is responsible for ensuring that a complete injury report form is filed with the Athletic Department for any injury that is suffered during any club sport activity including any injury that occurs during travel to and from the activity. The president/chair must ensure that each member knows of this requirement and that injury report forms are available at all times even when the club is traveling. 6. Each member is required to sign a Student Athlete Pre-Participation Form as well as a Club Sports Assumption of Risk Form before engaging in any activity with the Club. 7. The president/chair is responsible for ensuring that current information is on file in the Student Activities Office and in the Athletic Department. This information includes a list of the addresses and telephone numbers of the current club officers; a roster of club sport participants listing their name, address, and status; a Student Athlete Pre-Participation Form and a Club Sports Assumption of Risk Form signed by each club member; and a copy of their charter. 8. By signing below each sports club member understands and agrees that the student is responsible for securing health or accident insurance. If the student has purchased the Smith College Student Medical insurance Plan, the student has additional coverage for sports related injuries: SPORTS INJURY INSURANCE The Student Medical Insurance Plan is also designed to work in conjunction with the Sports Injury Insurance policy, which is carried by the College for all intercollegiate and Club Sports athletes. The Sports Injury Insurance policy has a $500.00 deductible which is met by the Student Medical Insurance Plan. If a student waives the Student Medical Insurance Plan, and does not have any other coverage, the $500.00 Sports Injury deductible will be the responsibility of the student. For further information, please see http://www.smith.edu/finaid/healthplan.pdf. This coverage is only available if the student had purchased the Smith College Student Medical Plan. 9. Students are solely responsible for all travel arrangements related to club activities. The College takes no responsibility for the use of any vehicle or other means of transportation unless specifically owned by or provided by the College. This agreement is submitted each year by each Club Sport member upon registering for the current academic year. An organization's registration is not complete until the Student Activities Office has received this agreement signed by each club member, the "Student Organization Recognition Form" form and an updated copy of the organization's constitution and bylaws (to be submitted to the Student Activities Office, Campus Center 106 by the Activities Fair in the fall semester).
