Use of the YMCA of Greater Birmingham (YMCA) facilities and participation in sports or other physically demanding activities inherently expose the participant to a certain degree of risk of personal injury, illness, and other adverse medical consequences. The YMCA is not an insurer of a member’s life or personal safety. No participant will engage in activities which require a level of physical fitness exceeding the participant’s physical condition or abilities, as determined by the participant. Every participant assumes the risk of personal injury, illness, or other condition arising out of or related to the participant’s activity on YMCA premises.

I agree to release the National Council of Young Men’s Christian Association of the United States of America and its independent and autonomous member association of the U.S and Puerto Rico from claims of negligence or bodily injury or death in connections with the use of YMCA facilities and from any liability for other claims including loss of property to fullest extent of the law.

I give permission to the personnel of the YMCA to video, photograph, make a voice recording or motion picture of me and/or my minor/children, to be used in connection with the internet, printed material, visual or auditory presentation, or to use in a depiction of a team activity.  Also, these items will be exclusive property of the YMCA of Greater Birmingham.
