Waiver of Liability

"I am aware that participation in gymnastics and related activities involves risk and possible injury. I understand and agree that Racine Gymnastics Center and its staff will assume no responsibility for injuries or medical expenses incurred by my son, daughter, or myself. Neither my child(ren) nor I have any physical, mental or emotional problems that would interfere with participation in this program. Individuals must have their own medical insurance. I have read and understand the policies set forth by Racine Gymnastics Center. This agreement in valid for any session and any type of lesson, open gym, group visit, birthday party, other. "

Participation in our programs and requires full understanding of the risks. Accidents and injuries can happen in any sport. All participants must have a parent or guardian sign waiver/release form. 
We reserve the right to limit activities in the gym and on the equipment at any time. Safety is important to all of us. Instructors give safety instructions regularly.

Health and Safety Waiver

To comply with the CDC and the State of Wisconsin, Racine Gymnastics Center (RGC) relies on all parents and participants to adhere to the recommended physical distancing and personal hygiene standards for the safety of others. In addition to our liability waiver, this health and safety waiver acknowledges parent and student risk in participating at RGC. While we cannot control outside contagions, RGC plans to take all precautions available to lower the risk of spread within the facility. This includes regular cleaning of all surfaces in the facility throughout the day and at closing. Our staff members will also follow all health and safety guidelines set forth below. As a consequence of the restrictions placed on Racine Gymnastics Center by the federal, state, and local departments of health as well as our business’s commitment to safety, our parents must agree to follow the following policies:
1. Parents/guardians and/or children who are sick or display symptoms of illness 24 hours prior to participation in the gym will not be allowed in. Please be aware that staff members will not be taking temperatures of all individuals upon entry. However, any individual will be submitted to a temperature check if needed. Staff reserves the right to ask any parent and/or child who appears ill to leave the facility. We will offer make-ups for missed classes based on class availability. 2. We ask only one parent/guardian enter the gym with their participating child(ren). Unless necessary, please keep all non-participating children outside the facility. Parents are welcome to drop off and pick-up at any designated entrance. 3. Though RGC would never prohibit parent viewing, we will need to limit the number of parents allowed in the balcony to conform to the 6-foot distancing standards. The balcony area will not include seating and will have clearly marked physical-distancing position indicators. If this space starts to fill up, we kindly ask that you wait outside and we can walk your child out to meet you upon your request. Parents are welcome to observe from the windows at the front of the building, one window per parent/family to ensure adequate spectating distance. Parents/Guardians may also wait in the parking lot for the duration of class. 4. Participants must wash their hands thoroughly before entering the gym. It is recommended participants also wash hands and feet after returning home. Sanitizing/disinfecting agents will be provided in the gym and welcome/viewing areas. 5. RGC will not require the use of face masks. However, spectators, participants and staff are permitted to wear face masks at any time in the gym, including class time, at their discretion. 6. As with the balcony area, locker rooms will be restricted to minimal use (ie restroom breaks and washing hands). We ask that participants either leave their personal belongings, including shoes, with their parent/guardian, or have the ability to fit all belongings into a small backpack or gym bag that will be kept in a designated space. Due to the limited capacity of the locker rooms, participants may only be allowed in one at a time, or in a staggered pattern, potentially
prolonging dismissal times. We ask that parents/guardians only enter the locker room for their own personal use, or if their child needs assistance.

I, as a parent/guardian of an RGC participant, acknowledge the above risks and precautions that have been put in place. I understand that while staff will attempt to coach participants from a safe distance, spotting (touching) may be needed for their safety. I also understand that participants may have direct or indirect contact with each other. I agree to help RGC provide a safe place that develops strong, confident and healthy kids through the adherence of these policies.
