Important Information: The Catholic Bishop of Chicago (the CBC) and Queen of Martyrs Parish (the Parish) are committed to conducting athletic programs and activities in the safest manner possible and holds the safety of participants in the highest possible regard. Participants and parents registering their child in athletic programs must recognize however that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in athletic activities. The CBC and the Parish insist participants follow safety rules and instruction, which have been designed to protect your safety. Please recognize that the CBC and the parish do not carry medical accident insurance for injuries sustained in its programs. The cost would make fees prohibitive. Therefore, each person registering themselves or a family member for a recreation program/activity should review their own health insurance policy for coverage. It must be noted that the absence of health insurance coverage does not make the CBC or the Parish automatically responsible for the payment of medical expenses. Due to the difficulty and high cost of obtaining medical accident insurance, the CBC and the Parish requires the execution of the following Waiver and Release. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
