Covid-19 Agreement & Waiver

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. All programs operated by USA Sport Group (USG) follow applicable protocols and guidelines outlined by the CDC, State, and Board of Health Departments to prevent and reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, USG cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending any program may increase your child(ren)s risk of contracting COVID-19.

By signing this agreement, I ACKNOWLEDGE THE CONTAGIOUS NATURE OF COVID-19 AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUME THE RISK THAT MY CHILD(REN) AND I MAY BE EXPOSED TO, OR INFECTED BY COVID-19 BY ATTENDING THE USG PROGRAM, AND THAT SUCH EXPOSURE OR INFECTION MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY, ILLNESS, PERMANENT DISABILITY, AND DEATH. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE RISK OF BECOMING EXPOSED TO OR INFECTED BY COVID-19 AT THE USG PROGRAM MAY RESULT FROM THE ACTIONS, OMISSIONS, OR NEGLIGENCE OF MYSELF AND OTHERS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, USG EMPLOYEES, VOLUNTEERS, AND PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS AND THEIR FAMILIES.

I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my child(ren) or myself including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death, illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I or my child(ren) may experience or incur in connection with attendance at the USG program. On my behalf, and on behalf of my child(ren)s, I HEREBY RELEASE, COVENANT NOT TO SUE, DISCHARGE, AND HOLD HARMLESS USG, ITS EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND REPRESENTATIVES, OF AND FROM THE CLAIMS, INCLUDING ALL LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, ACTIONS, DAMAGES, COSTS OR EXPENSES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING THERETO. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of USG, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any USG program.

I acknowledge & agree:

• to follow all Program safety rules and procedures posted by USA Sport Group prior to and/or during the Program, including but not limited to those posted on the Covid-19 Information Page
• to abide by any decision made by USA Sport Group, USA Sport Group Coaching Staff and/or Officials regarding the safe participation in the program, in particular in relation to Covid-19. 
• USA Sport Group coaching staff and/or Officials, Program staff and/or organizers may dismiss you from the Program Site and/or remove the participant from the program without refund or reimbursement of any kind should your behavior and/or the participants be deemed (in the opinion of USA Sport Group) dangerous (including but not limited to putting the safety and wellbeing of participants and program staff at risk), discriminatory, or having a negative impact on the Program, its participants or Program staff.  
• you and/or the participant are responsible for bringing all PPE, including but not limited to masks and hand sanitizer. 
• that any facilities provided at the Program location are used by you and/or the participant at your own risk including but not limited to water fountains, bathrooms, and playgrounds. 

You understand and agree that USA Sport Group may without prior notice, terminate, suspend, block or modify your access to the Site or Services, cancel your Program registration, and refuse to honor all or pending purchases if USA Sport Group believes you or someone acting on your behalf has violated or is inconsistent with the Terms & Conditions outlined in this Covid-19 Agreement & Liability Waiver, or the law, or have violated the rights of USA Sport Group, or one of our clients, employees, customers, or participants on a Program. USA Sport Group is not required to provide a refund or exchange of fees you have paid if it exercises any of its rights or remedies because you have violated these Terms & Conditions or any of USA Sport Group's rights. In this event, all outstanding fees will be your responsibility and you agree to pay any outstanding balances on demand.
