(Covers FCC Hoops, FCC Volleyball, and all FCC Sports Club events & activities)

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PARTICIPATING

By checking the box during registration, signing below (if applicable), and/or attending any FCC Sports Club event, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

1. Assumption of Risk

I understand that participation in recreational sports—including but not limited to basketball, volleyball, and other physical activities—carries inherent risks. These risks include, but are not limited to: sprains, strains, fractures, concussions, collisions, falls, property damage, permanent disability, and death.

Risks may arise from my own actions or inactions, the actions or inactions of others, equipment failure, the rules of play, or conditions of the facility.
I voluntarily participate and accept full responsibility for my safety.

2. Facility Safety

I agree to inspect the facilities and equipment prior to participating. If I believe anything is unsafe, I will immediately notify an FCC Sports Club organizer and will not participate until the concern is resolved.

3. Release of Liability

I hereby release, waive, and discharge FCC Sports Club LLC, its organizers, volunteers, gym partners, sponsors, and associated facilities (the “Releasees”) from any and all liability, claims, demands, or causes of action for personal injury, illness, property damage, or death arising from or related to my participation—including claims caused in whole or in part by the negligence of the Releasees.

4. Indemnification

I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Releasees from any and all claims, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including attorney’s fees) arising out of my participation in FCC Sports Club activities.

5. Medical Treatment

I authorize FCC Sports Club to obtain emergency medical care for me if needed. I release all individuals involved in providing such care from liability. I understand I am solely responsible for any resulting medical expenses.

6. Insurance

I affirm that I have adequate medical or health insurance, or that I will be financially responsible for any medical expenses resulting from participation.

7. Code of Conduct

I agree to conduct myself safely and respectfully toward all players, organizers, referees, and facilities. Poor sportsmanship, unsafe behavior, harassment, or aggression may result in removal from events without refund.

8. Photo/Video Release

I grant FCC Sports Club permission to use photos or videos taken during events for promotional purposes, including social media, marketing, and the FCC website.

9. Electronic Signature & Digital Records

By checking the required box during registration, I acknowledge that this serves as my electronic signature under the ESIGN Act and carries the same legal effect as a handwritten signature.
My acknowledgment will be stored alongside my booking information.

10. Severability

This waiver is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by Illinois law. If any portion is found invalid, the remainder shall remain in full effect.

11. Acknowledgment

I have read, understood, and voluntarily agree to this waiver and release. By providing my email during sign-up, I consent to receive updates about FCC Sports Club games, events, and news (opt-out available anytime).
