ASSUMPTION OF RISK & LIABILITY WAIVER:
Cheerleading, tumbling, stunting, conditioning, and all related gym activities involve inherent and unavoidable risks, including but not limited to sprains, strains, fractures, concussions, falls, collisions, equipment-related injuries, and exposure to illness or communicable diseases. These risks cannot be eliminated without fundamentally altering the nature of the activities.
By signing below, I acknowledge and agree that:
• My athlete is participating voluntarily.
• I understand the inherent risks associated with these activities.
• I accept full responsibility for my athlete’s participation. To the fullest extent allowed by Washington State law, I release, waive, and hold harmless Connect Cheer NW, its owners, directors, employees, contractors, and volunteers from any claims arising from ordinary negligence. I understand that this waiver does not release claims related to gross negligence or willful misconduct, which cannot legally be waived in Washington.
