1. Acknowledgment of Risk
I, the undersigned Parent/Legal Guardian of the above-named minor (“Participant”), understand that participation in the Youth Wrestling Program involves physical activity, contact sport training, practices, wrestling matches, and related activities. I acknowledge that such activities include inherent risks that may result in injury or illness, including but not limited to strains, sprains, fractures, concussions, serious bodily injury, or death, and that such risks may arise from the nature of the sport, the conduct of others, the conditions of the facility, equipment, or otherwise.
I freely and voluntarily choose to allow the Participant to engage in the Program, and assume all risks associated with such participation.
2. Release and Waiver of Liability
In consideration for the Participant’s participation in the Program, I hereby agree, on behalf of myself, the Participant, and our heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns as permitted by law, to release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue the Program organizers, coaches, volunteers, sponsors, facility owners, and all their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, and assigns (collectively, “Released Parties”) from any and all liability, claims, demands, causes of action, or damages of any kind, whether known or unknown, that may arise out of the Participant’s participation in the Program, including claims arising out of the ordinary negligence of the Released Parties to the fullest extent permitted by law.
This Release applies to all claims for loss, injury, medical expenses, or death arising directly or indirectly from the Participant’s participation in the Program.
Important Note: Under Utah law, waivers signed by parents/guardians on behalf of minor children may not be enforceable to release liability for injuries to the minor as a matter of public policy unless very specific conditions apply. You should consult qualified legal counsel to tailor this clause appropriately.
3. Medical Treatment Authorization
I authorize Program staff to seek medical treatment for the Participant in the event of injury or illness if I am not present or cannot be reached. I understand that I am financially responsible for all costs associated with such treatment.
4. Insurance
I understand that the Participant is not covered by insurance provided by the Program, and that I am responsible for securing appropriate health insurance for the Participant.
5. Severability
If any provision of this Waiver is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
6. Governing Law
This Waiver shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah.
