Burke Basketball, LLC d/b/a SPDBASKETBALL (“SPDBasketball”) as well as the Siena School (“Siena”) have implemented precautions to minimize risks to participants. However, I understand that participation in youth sports poses an inherent risk of injury, including due to other participants’ conduct; weather; premises and equipment; and supervision, instruction, or officiating. I understand that it is not possible to remove all risks associated with participation in youth sports. I assume the risk of all injuries, damages or loss that my child or I may sustain as a result of participation in or attendance at SPDBasketball activities taking place at Siena or otherwise.
I agree to release, hold harmless, and covenant not to sue Siena as well as SPDBasketball, including its officers, employees, agents, volunteers, chaperones, insurers, and representatives, from any claims arising from, or in connection with, my child’s or my own attendance at and participation in SPDBasketball sports and activities, including any claims for illness, personal injury, disability, or death; any claims for any cost of medical treatment, financial loss, or expense; any claims based on the acts, errors, omissions, or negligence of the SPDBasketball including its officers, employees, agents, volunteers, chaperones, insurers, and representatives; or any other claims whatsoever.
COVID-19
SPDBasketball as well as Siena have implemented precautions, based upon available guidance from public health agencies, to minimize risks to participants relating to COVID-19; however, I understand that the nature of basketball makes it impossible to consistently ensure physical distancing of 6 feet or more or otherwise eliminate all risks to participants. I understand that my child’s or my own participation in this activity may therefore include possible exposure to infectious diseases (including, but not limited to, COVID-19) and the risk of serious illness or death.
I knowingly and freely assume all such risks and assume all responsibility for my child’s and my own participation, and I agree to release, hold harmless, and covenant not to sue Siena as well as SPDBasketball, including its officers, employees, agents, volunteers, chaperones, insurers, and representatives from any claims arising from, or in connection with exposure to or transmission of COVID-19 during SPDBasketball activities at Siena or otherwise. I acknowledge that I am responsible to ensure that my child and I will comply with Siena and SPDBasketball’s terms and conditions for participation in this activity and as may be updated from time to time in either Siena’s or SPDBasketball’s discretion, including to conform with applicable governmental requirements, CDC guidance, and/or Siena or SPDBasketball requirements and guidance. Noncompliance may result in my child or myself being removed from participation and prohibited from returning to the activity, with no refund being issued.
