Tekkers Total Goalkeeper - Summer 2024

Waiver of Liability 

The activities at SPORTSIOWA include soccer, basketball, volleyball, hockey, lacrosse, birthday parties, baseball, softball, dodgeball, tag and any other activities offered by SPORTSIOWA offer the participant fun, competition, and wholesome recreation. Benefits include getting away from the TV, physical activity, and healthful social interaction. The required physical exertion is suitable for most levels of fitness and skill. While the many benefits of these activities are apparent, SPORTSIOWA and its staff regard participant safety as a top priority and feel it is important that the participant (and parent/guardian) understand that there are risks inherent in the activity regardless of the care taken by SPORTSIOWA. Some risks that are inherent in the activity and cannot be totally eliminated include tripping, slipping and falling, and collisions. Other inherent risks include, but are not limited to unexpected equipment failure, errors in judgment by SPORTSIOWA employee. 

SPORTSIOWA feels that it is important that the participant (and parent/guardian) understand that three types of injuries can occur. Minor injuries are the most common and include, but are not limited to, muscle soreness, headaches, and bruises. Serious injuries are less common, but do occur occasionally. They include, but are not limited, to broken bones and internal injuries. Catastrophic injuries are rare; but SPORTSIOWA feels that participants should be aware of the slight possibility. These injuries include paralysis and even death. 

Assumption of Inherent Risks: I, the Adult Participant [or Minor Participant and Parent(s) or Guardian(s)], (hereafter referred to as Participant/Parent) understand that all activities of SPORTSIOWA include inherent risks that cannot be totally eliminated regardless of the care taken by SPORTSIOWA.

Participant/Parent hereby assert that Participant/Parent knowingly assume all inherent risks of the activity.
