COVID-19 SPORTS WAIVER:
I understand that Covenant Christian Academy (“Academy”) instituted a “return to play” policy for all athletes returning after having COVID-19 (or any variant) with the best interest of the health of the student-athlete in mind. The intention of the return to play policy is to slowly increase the physical effort of each returning athlete without limiting his or her presence as part of the team. The return to play policy sets maximum effort by the returning athlete during practice on Day 6 of 25%, Day 7 of 50%, Day 8 of 75%, Day 9 100%, with no in-game activity until Day 10 and thereafter. This waiver recognizes that any risks associated with participation in sports or extra-curricular activities at the Academy is the sole responsibility of each family.
I, personally and on behalf of my student hereby voluntarily assume all risks related to COVID-19 and to my student’s return to athletics including death, injury or illness and damage or loss of property. I hereby waive and release the Academy from any cause of action, claims, or demands of any nature whatsoever, in connection with COVID-19 including but not limited to any adverse outcomes as a result of my student’s participation in sports or at the Academy and my student’s exposure, infection, and/or spread of COVID-19, and understand that this waiver means I give up any right to bring any claims including for personal injuries, illness, permanent disability, death, property losses, or any other loss, including but not limited to claims of negligence and give up any claim I or my student may have to seek damages, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen.
