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 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.
All members are subject to regular sex offender screenings against a national database. The YMCA of Greater Birmingham reserves the right to revoke any membership. The protection of our members and guests participating in our programs and/or using our facilities is of paramount interest of the YMCA. The association reserves the right to deny access to membership to any person who has been accused or convicted of any crime involving sexual abuse; is a registered sex offender; habitually or excessively uses narcotics or dangerous drugs; has ever been convicted of any offense relating to the use, sale, possession, or transportation of narcotics or habit forming and/or dangerous drugs; or continuously or excessively using intoxicating beverages. To support critical member and child safety efforts, the YMCA of Greater Birmingham will ask for a photo for our electronic records. Members will be expected to present their membership card upon each visit to a YMCA facility. Membership privileges and cards are not transferable. Membership dues, activation fees and program fees are subject to change. Due to seasons and member traffic, individual branches may place specific restrictions on time and days that guest may visit. Please be prepared to comply with these membership responsibilities.
Adherence to the YMCA Code of Conduct and regulations is essential.
Noncompliance may result in suspension or termination of YMCA employment and/or membership privileges.
