PARENT RELEASE FORM

I hereby give my permission for my child to participate in the Athletics Program ("program").  I represent and warrant to you that my child is physically and mentally able to participate in the Program. I attest that I and my child realize the inherent risks involved in the Program, appreciate the nature of such risks, and realize that attendance at or participation in this or related activities may result in personal injury or property damage. You are authorized on my behalf and at my account to take such measures and arrange for such medical and hospital treatment as you may deem advisable for the health and well-being of my child without the need for further consent or permission.

I, the undersigned, individually and on behalf of my child acknowledge that my child will be using Program facilities at his/her own risk, and that the City of Knoxville and Deidra Dunn (dba Tennis Ace) its officials, officers, employees, physicians, agents and volunteer personnel will not be responsible for any personal injury or property damage that may result from or arise out of my child's attendance at or participation in the Program and any related activities.

I, for myself, my child, and our heirs, executors, and administrators, release, discharge and indemnify the City, its officials, employees, physicians, agents and volunteer personnel from all liabilities for damage, injury or illness to my child or his/her property arising out of or resulting from his/her attendance at, participation in or travel to or from Program events.

MAKEUP POLICY:

*Notification: In case of inclement weather, we will notify parents of cancellations and rescheduled sessions via the SportsYou app. Parents will be sent information on how to get the SportsYou app. 

*Make-up Guarantee: While every effort is made to reschedule all missed classes, if more than two classes are missed in a single session due to inclement weather, we cannot guarantee the ability to schedule a makeup for every missed class due to court availability and time constraints. If a makeup is not held due to inclement weather, we cannot guarantee a makeup for the makeup due to the aforementioned reasons. Inclement weather makeups cannot be carried over to a new session. 

*Timing of Makeups: Make-up sessions are generally scheduled near the end of the class session. 

*Safety Policy: Classes will not be held on courts that are slick due to inclement weather AND cannot be held with lightning in the area. Decisions on whether a class will be held will be made on the day of the class AND may be made as late as 30 minutes before the class start time. 

*Missed Classes: Whichever class day a participant signs up is the day of the week HE/SHE attends each week. Any class missed by a participant is not guaranteed a makeup. This would be at the discretion of the tennis director and dependent on class sizes on other days. PRIOR APPROVAL MUST BE GRANTED for this.
