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. Oakland Michigan University offers various club sports for students to participate in. When joining a club sport, students are required to sign a Club Sport Participation Agreement, which includes an Assumption of Risk and Release from Liability and a Travel Waiver. The Club Sport Participation Agreement is a legally binding document that outlines the terms and conditions of participation in club sports at Oakland Michigan University. It is designed to ensure the safety and well-being of all participants while also addressing the university's liability concerns. By signing this agreement, students acknowledge and accept the risks involved in participating in club sports and release the university from any liability arising from their involvement. The Assumption of Risk portion of the agreement recognizes that club sports involve inherent risks, such as physical injuries, accidents, or property damage, which may occur during practices, games, or related events. Students agree to assume these inherent risks and understand that participation is voluntary. The Release from Liability section states that students waive their right to hold the university, its officials, employees, coaches, and volunteers responsible for any injury, damage, or loss incurred during club sport activities. This release extends to any claims, demands, or causes of action, including negligence, that may arise before, during, or after participation. Additionally, the Travel Waiver is included for club sports involving off-campus travel or competitions. It highlights the unique risks associated with traveling, such as transportation accidents, unforeseen events, or medical emergencies. Students acknowledge these risks and release the university from any liability that may arise during such travel. It is important to note that while this description covers the general aspects of the Club Sport Participation Agreement, variations may exist depending on individual club sports. Each club may have its own specific terms and conditions that align with the nature of its activities, equipment usage, training protocols, and safety guidelines. Therefore, it's advisable for students to carefully review and understand the terms outlined in their specific club's agreement before signing.
