COVID-19 Assumption of Risk Policy 

I will allow my child to participate in the City of Litchfield Park Recreation Programs. I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that we may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by participation; and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. We understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at the City of Litchfield Park activities may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of ourselves and others, including, but not limited to the City of Litchfield Park employees, volunteers, and program participants and their families. We agree that if we are exposed or infected by COVID-19 during our participation in this activity, then we may be found by a court of law to have waived our rights to maintain a lawsuit against the parties being released on the basis of any claim for negligence. We agree that we will not attend the City of Litchfield Park Sports League activities if we have experienced any COVID-19 symptoms in the last 24 hours.
