COVID-19 Return to Training Release and Waiver (Updated 2021)
According to the USOPC Chief Medical Officer, although the young and healthy tend to have less severe cases of COVID-19, every case of this disease is potentially life altering or deadly. Until COVID-19 is eradicated, even if an effective vaccine is developed, or a cure is found, there is no way of completely eliminating the risk of a serious or fatal infection. This should always be in the forefront of your mind when deciding whether to return to training. Each of our members and their families are responsible for making their own judgment as to the degree of risk of contracting the COVID-19 virus that they are willing to take in order to return to in person basketball activities based upon their individual circumstances, including the prevalence of the virus in their locality, whether a particular member is particularly vulnerable to the virus, and the precautions being taken by others they may come into contact with.
As a program, we ask that everyone do their best to take care of themselves and their fellow teammates both during and outside of training sessions, understanding the social responsibility that comes with participating in a group activity. This allows in person trainings and activities to continue for all.
Knowing the risks described above, I agree, personally and on behalf of my player/participant/family to assume all the risks and responsibilities surrounding participation in in-person training sessions and practices. To the fullest extent allowed by law, I hold harmless and agree to indemnify Genesis Hoops Inc., its owners, directors, coaches, and employees, from and against any present or future claim, cause of action, loss or liability for injury to person or property, which said participant may suffer or for which said participant may be liable to any other person, related to said participant's involvement in basketball training and/or practices resulting from any cause whatsoever and regardless of fault.
* The above signature is on behalf of the parent(s)/guardian(s) and player(s) participating, as many as are participants in any and all Genesis Hoops Inc. program.
I CERTIFY THAT I HAVE READ THIS DOCUMENT, AND I FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS CONTENT. I AM AWARE THAT THIS IS A RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND A CONTRACT AND I SIGN IT ON MY OWN FREE WILL. Electronic acceptance of this document is considered the same as signed acceptance.
