Group Organizer's Name: Edmonton Sport and Social Club, hereinafter to be referred to as (" ESSC")

TO: Edmonton Sport and Social Club, hereinafter to be referred to as (" ESSC"),

Assumption of Risks

I am aware that participating in the activities and sports, without limitation, offered by or associated with ESSC, exposes me to many inherent risks, dangers and hazards. By engaging in any activities offered by or associated with ESSC, I freely accept and fully assume all inherent risks, dangers and hazards and the possibility of personal injury, death, property damage or loss resulting there from.

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization and COVID-19 is extremely contagious. The ESSC has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, I understand that the ESSC cannot and does not guarantee that I will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, participating in any group activity and sports may significantly increase my risk of contracting COVID-19 and such exposure may result in temporary or permanent personal injury, illness, disability or death and I freely and voluntarily agree to assume all the foregoing risks.

Underage Spectator Policy

The ESSC is an adult-only league; all players must be 18 years of age, or older, before they can participate in any ESSC league or event. As such, our Liability Insurance covers adult participants, spectators and employees only. Players are discouraged from bringing underage spectators to any ESSC league or event that is held in a gymnasium. Gyms offer a confined area where balls and other objects are moving quickly and at times, unpredictably. If a parent/supervisor/guardian chooses to bring an underage person to any ESSC venue (particularly an indoor gym), they do so at their own risk and will assume all liability and consequences related to the minor(s) they have brought with them.
