I hereby certify that I am in good physical and mental health and have no pre-existing medical conditions or injuries affecting my ability to participate in LVCS events, clinics, and practices nor have I been declared medically ineligible for any athletic competition.

All negligence claims will be determined by binding arbitration as stated in Nevada Revised Statutes.
