To Club Presidents/Reps;
We are aware that many member tennis facilities have procured their own Covid-19 specific Player/Member Waiver forms for guests to sign in advance of participating in activities at their premises. Other member facilities have requested a template that would help them in this process.
Please find attached a waiver template in pdf and Microsoft Word formats that a facility can adapt for their own use.
Obviously the emergence of Covid-19 has presented unprecedented problems worldwide and the tennis business is no exception. The attached document is meant as a guideline and, if used, should be adjusted to meet the specific needs of your facility. Please note, this waiver does not include any specific requirements or recommendations of National, Provincial or local public health and other government authorities. If desired, your club can add any necessary requirements and recommendations to the final version of the document or or post them separately on the facility website and/or location.
It should be noted that, although a deterrent, a waiver does not completely prevent the possibility of an individual(s) suing your organization on matters related to Covid-19, it may reduce the likelihood of a claim, and if one is pursued, may present a complete defence to the claim.
We strongly recommend that you have the final version of your facility waiver reviewed by legal counsel.
