Health and Safety

Inherently, many recreational sports activities present the possibility of injury. Participation in programs is voluntary; individuals assume responsibility for their own safety and health. All individuals who intend to participate in vigorous activities should, for their own protection, have a physical examination to determine if they are physically able to participate. Medical insurance, which would cover expenses incurred by an injury, is strongly recommended.
