Wrestling family sign-up

1. Participation and assumption of risk

I, the parent or legal guardian of the wrestler(s) listed on this form, want my child to take part in Anthony Wayne biddy wrestling, including practices, open mats, tournaments, travel, and related activities (the "Program"). I understand that wrestling is a physical contact sport with real risk of injury. Those risks include, but are not limited to, sprains, strains, cuts, bruises, broken bones, dislocations, concussions and other head injuries, neck and spinal injuries, dental and eye injuries, skin infections (such as ringworm, impetigo, herpes gladiatorum and MRSA), dehydration and heat illness, and, in rare cases, paralysis or death. These risks can come from my child's own actions, the actions of other wrestlers, coaches or spectators, the condition of mats, facilities and equipment, and travel to and from events. I knowingly and voluntarily accept all of these risks for my child and myself.

2. Release, waiver and agreement not to sue

To the fullest extent allowed by Ohio law, I release, waive, and agree not to sue the Anthony Wayne Wrestling Boosters, the Anthony Wayne wrestling program, the Anthony Wayne Local School District and its Board of Education, and all of their coaches, volunteers, officers, employees and agents (the "Released Parties") for any injury, illness, death, or loss of property that my child or I suffer from taking part in the Program, including claims based on the ordinary negligence of the Released Parties. I make this release for myself, for my child, and for our heirs and anyone acting for us. This release does not apply to willful or wanton misconduct.

3. Indemnity

If anyone brings a claim on my child's behalf that this form releases, I agree to cover the Released Parties' reasonable costs and attorney fees in defending it, to the extent allowed by law.

4. Medical treatment authorization

If my child is injured or ill and I cannot be reached right away, I authorize the Program's coaches to call 911 and to arrange emergency medical care, including transport to a hospital. I understand coaches will try to reach me or my emergency contact as soon as possible. I am responsible for all medical costs, and I understand the Program does not provide medical insurance for my child.

5. Health and fitness

My child is physically able to take part in wrestling. I have listed any medical conditions, allergies or concerns on this form and will tell the coaches about any changes during the season.

6. Skin and hygiene

Coaches may check wrestlers for skin conditions. A wrestler with a suspected skin infection will not practice or compete until a licensed health care provider clears them. My child will come to practice with clean clothes and gear and trimmed fingernails.

7. Concussions (Ohio Return-to-Play Law)

I have received and reviewed the Ohio Department of Health's concussion and head injury information. I understand that a wrestler who shows signs or symptoms of a concussion will be removed from practice or competition, will not return that day, and will not return until cleared in writing by a licensed health care provider.

8. Sudden cardiac arrest (Lindsay's Law)

I have received and reviewed the Ohio Department of Health's sudden cardiac arrest information handout and the Lindsay's Law resources. I understand that a wrestler who faints or shows other warning signs during or after activity will be removed and will not return until cleared in writing by a licensed health care provider.

9. Rules and conduct

My child will follow coaches' instructions and the room rules, including staying in the wrestling room area during practice. I will drop off and pick up my child on time. Coaches may remove a wrestler from an activity for unsafe behavior. Registration is paid in full, there is no trial period, and registration fees are non-refundable.

10. Electronic signature

I am at least 18 years old and the parent or legal guardian of each wrestler listed. I have read this entire form and understand it. By typing my name below and checking the boxes, I am signing this agreement electronically, and my electronic signature has the same effect as a handwritten one. This agreement covers the 2026-27 season.
