Description

College club sports in the United States are any sports offered at a university or college in the United States that compete competitively with other universities, or colleges, but are not regulated by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) or National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), and do not have varsity status. Collegiate club sports can exist at schools that do have teams that are part of the NCAA or NAIA. Many times, club sports are student-run and receive little financial aid from the school. Rhode Island University (RIO) is committed to providing an enriching and inclusive experience for its student athletes through its Club Sports program. As a part of this program, participants are required to sign the RIO Club Sport Participation Agreement, which includes the Assumption of Risk and Release from Liability and Travel Waiver. The purpose of the Club Sport Participation Agreement is to ensure that all participants understand and accept the risks associated with participating in club sports and to release the university from any liability arising from such participation. By signing this agreement, participants agree to abide by the rules, regulations, and policies set forth by RIO and the specific club sport they are participating in. The Assumption of Risk section outlines that participants acknowledge the potential dangers and risks involved in participating in club sports. These risks can include, but are not limited to, physical injury, property damage, and even death. By signing the agreement, participants acknowledge their understanding of these risks and affirm their willingness to assume full responsibility for any harm that may occur during their participation, whether caused by their own actions or the actions of others. The Release from Liability section holds the university harmless from any claims, demands, or actions arising out of or in connection with the participant's involvement in club sports. This includes claims against RIO, its employees, agents, coaches, and volunteers, in the event of any injury, loss, or damage incurred during club sport activities. Additionally, the Travel Waiver section addresses the potential risks associated with traveling for club sport events, such as tournaments or competitions. It acknowledges that participants may be exposed to risks beyond the control of the university, such as accidents, transportation failures, or other unforeseen events. By signing this section, participants assume responsibility for any risks related to travel and release RIO from any liability arising from such events. It is important to note that there may be different types of Club Sport Participation Agreements within Rhode Island University, depending on the specific requirements and needs of each club sport. Some club sports may have additional or modified clauses tailored to their unique characteristics and potential risks. These variations ensure that participants are well-informed about the specific risks associated with their chosen club sport and provide a comprehensive agreement that covers all relevant aspects of participation.
