I verify that my child has a valid driver s license and the minimum required private automoblie insurance. I give permission for my student to provide transportation to teammates, as needed. It is understood that the teammate(s) will have this signed release form on file with the school. I give permission for my student to ride to practices and/or games with a teammate. It is understood that the driver will have this signed release form on file with the school. I understand that the ability of coaches and other school officials to properly supervise students may be impaired when students are not under their direct control. I agree that the coaches and HPCA should not be held accountable when students who are authorized to use alternative means of transportation do so. I understand that coaches reserve the right to refuse requests by players to leave their teams if, in the coaches opinion, it serves the best interest of the individual or the program.
