Completing a Participant Release Form
All participants, including students, coaches, and mentors, must submit a signed physical copy of the RECF participant release form (PRF) to their team’s primary coach before attending any official RECF event.
Participants 18 or older must complete and sign a paper copy of the RECF PRF for themselves.
Participants under 18 should read the RECF PRF and then must have a parent or guardian complete and sign a physical paper copy of the form.
Please note: Digital forms will not be accepted for the 2026-2027 RECF competition season.
Coach’s Role in Participant Release Forms
As outlined in the Commitment to Coach Excellence, it is the responsibility of the primary coach to maintain a current team roster and ensure that all team participants have completed the current season’s RECF Participant Release Form.
The coach should collect all of the forms and keep them in a secure location that protects all personally identifiable information and is in alignment with the RECF Youth Protection Policy.
The coach is required to bring all PRFs to every RECF event the team attends and visibly verify with event staff that all present team participants have a PRF on file with the coach. Forms are not submitted to the event partner or event staff. The coach should retain all PRFs between events.
If the primary coach is unable to attend the event, another adult that meets their organization’s safety requirements must accompany the team, bring the forms, and verify the forms with event staff.
Coaches must properly dispose of or shred the forms at the end of each season.
