Liability Waiver

IN CONSIDERATION of my minor child(ren) being allowed to participate in any way in the CINCINNATI PREMIER YOUTH VOLLEYBALL LEAGUE ("CPYVL”), and on behalf of my minor child(ren), the undersigned agrees and states as follows:

1. I understand that even though CPYVL rules, equipment, training, and discipline are designed to avoid any injury, the risk of injury from activities involved in the CPYVL program is significant, including the potential for permanent paralysis and death.
2. On behalf of my child(ren) and for myself, I knowingly and freely assume all such risks, arising out of, related to and resulting from participation in this program, both known and unknown, including but not limited to practices, tournaments and games or otherwise, even if arising from the negligence of the CPYVL, its officers, members, coaches, commissioners, officials, employees, volunteers, and others acting on the CPYVL’s behalf (collectively, the “Releasees”), and assume full responsibility for my child(ren)’s participation to the fullest extent of the law.
3. I acknowledge that despite additional federal, state, and other preventative guidelines implemented by CPYVL as a direct response to the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), that COVID-19 is extremely contagious and can be spread from person-to-person contact. I further acknowledge that those engaged in the Sport are not immune from COVID-19 or the associated risks thereof. Accordingly, I certify and acknowledge that my child(ren) may be exposed to COVID-19 while participating in the Sport. I hereby certify that I willingly allow my child(ren) to participate and reaffirm that I freely assume all associated risks.
4. I willingly agree to comply with the stated and customary terms and conditions of the CPYVL for the participation of my child(ren). If, however, I observe any risk of injury or death which is not inherent in the CPYVL program while my child(ren) participate(s) in the program, I will remove my child(ren) from participation immediately.
5. I, for myself and on behalf of my child(ren), our heirs, assigns, representatives, and next of kin, hereby release and hold harmless the Releasees with respect to any and all injury, disability, death, loss or damage to person or property, arising out of, resulting from, related to, or connected with, in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, the participation or involvement of my child(ren) in the CPYVL program.
6. I hereby certify that, as the parent or guardian of my child(ren), I have legal responsibility for and authority to sign this Release and Waiver of Liability on behalf of my child(ren). I further certify that I have read this Release and Waiver in full, understand its terms, understand that substantial rights will be given up by signing it, and sign it voluntarily, without duress or coercion.
7. I agree accept discipline, if any, meted out by the League without complaint. I will not take any action that undermines or questions the authority of the League to discipline players or coaches. I will take no action that challenges or undermines the authority of the League to impose discipline on players, coaches, parents, spectators or member communities, including but not limited to bringing legal action against the League.
8. I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CPYVL, and its parent company (and its officers, directors, employees, members, and agents) from and against any and all, actual or threatened, third party claims, liabilities, losses, damages, injuries, or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) directly or indirectly arising from or relating to (i) any breach by me of the terms of this agreement, or (ii) the violation, by player associated with me, of the Player Code of Conduct, (iii) the violation by any person, associated with me, of the Parents/Spectator Code of Conduct for games played in this league.

I represent that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage my child may suffer or cause while participating in a CPYVL activity, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage myself. I further represent that my child has no medical or physical condition which could interfere with his/her safety in this activity, or else I am willing to assume and bear the costs of – all risks that may be created, directly or indirectly, by any such condition.
