Athlete Member Agreement - ALL signatures are required for acceptance of membership.
In consideration of my membership in the United States Trampoline and Tumbling Association (USTA), and my participation in USTA sanctioned events, I
agree to be bound by each of the following:
1. USTA Membership: I have applied for and received my USTA Membership.
2. Athlete Membership Release: My parents and I have completed, signed, and filed my Athlete Membership Release form with my club.
3. Readiness to compete: I will only participate in those USTA competitions for which I believe I am physically and psychologically prepared to compete.
Prior to participation in USTA events, I will have practiced and will perform only those skills & routines which I have accomplished to the degree of
confidence necessary to assure I can perform them by myself, without injury.
4. Waiver and Release: I am fully aware and appreciate the risks of catastrophic injury, paralysis, and even death, as well as risks of catastrophic injury,
paralysis, and even death, as well as other damages and losses associated with participation in a gymnastics event. I release USTA, the Host Organization,
and sponsor(s) of any USTA sanctioned event, along with employees, officers, and directors of these organizations (collectively the “Released Partiesâ€),
from any claims, losses, or damages arising from or in any way connected with my participation in the event, including claims, losses or damages arising
from or occurring as a result of the negligence of any one of the Released Parties, but not including the claims, losses, or damages occurring as a result of
the intentional or reckless conduct of any one of the Released Parties.
In the event that any sanctioned event is cancelled or rescheduled due to inclement weather or any other reason, no refunds or exchanges will be granted.
Athlete member also agrees that his/her name or likeness may be used in any photographs, motion picture film, television and/or radio broadcast without
his/her prior permission and without financial compensation.
5. Online Member Search: I understand that the information provided will be listed on the USTA online search. This information will be password
protected and USTA will use its best efforts to limit access to professional members of the USTA and club owners. USTA does NOT release individual
member’s information to third parties.
*Required for any athlete who in not yet 18 years old: As parent or legal guardian of this athlete, I hereby verify by my signature below, that I fully
understand and accept each of the conditions listed in the Athlete Membership Agreement for permitting my child to participate in any USTA sanctioned
event. I release the Released Parties from any claims, losses or damages arising from or in any way connected with my child’s participation in the event,
including losses or damages occurring as a result of the negligence of any one of the Released Parties, but not including claims, losses, or damages occurring
as a result of the intentional or reckless conduct of any one of the Released Parties. Whenever possible, USTA suggests both parents/guardians be required to
