Youth & Middle School Waiver

I understand that participation in wrestling, conditioning, training, clinics, camps, tournaments, travel activities, and related events sponsored or conducted by Pennridge Youth Wrestling ("PYW") involves inherent risks, including but not limited to:

• Falls, collisions, and physical contact with other participants;
• Sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations, cuts, bruises, and contusions;
• Concussions and other head injuries;
• Illnesses or infections; and
• Permanent disability or death.

I understand that these risks cannot be completely eliminated and voluntarily choose to allow my child to participate.

I knowingly and voluntarily assume all risks, known and unknown, related to my child's participation in PYW activities, whether arising from the actions of my child, other participants, coaches, volunteers, officials, spectators, or conditions of the facilities used.

In consideration for my child being permitted to participate in PYW activities, I, on behalf of myself, my child, my spouse, heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue:

• Pennridge Youth Wrestling;
• Its officers, directors, coaches, assistant coaches, volunteers, officials, and representatives;
• Pennridge School District, if applicable;
• Facility owners and operators; and
• Event organizers and tournament hosts.

This release applies to claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, or causes of action arising out of or relating to injury, illness, disability, death, or property damage resulting from participation in wrestling activities, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

I authorize PYW representatives, coaches, or volunteers to secure emergency medical treatment for my child if I cannot be reached immediately. I understand that every reasonable effort will be made to contact a parent or guardian, emergency care may be provided when deemed necessary, and I am responsible for medical expenses incurred.

The registration must list any allergies, medical conditions, medications, physical limitations, concussion history, or special considerations. If there are none, enter "None."

I understand that PYW expects wrestlers, parents, coaches, and spectators to demonstrate respect, good sportsmanship, and compliance with team rules and safety procedures. I understand that failure to follow these expectations may result in disciplinary action, including suspension or removal from participation.

I authorize PYW to photograph, videotape, or otherwise record my child during practices, matches, tournaments, and team activities, and to use those images or recordings for team websites, social media, promotional materials, fundraising materials, and program publications without compensation. The registration form provides separate Yes and No choices for each wrestler.

I understand that transportation to and from practices, matches, tournaments, and related events is generally the responsibility of the parent or guardian unless otherwise arranged.

I have carefully read this Waiver, Release of Liability, Assumption of Risk, and Medical Authorization Agreement. I understand its contents, acknowledge that I am giving up certain legal rights on behalf of myself and my child, and sign it voluntarily.

One parent or guardian signs electronically during registration. A participant signature is recommended for wrestlers age 12 and older.
