Every club sport activity that one engages in has risks, hazards and physical stresses associated with it. The following is a list of risks and hazards associated with club sport activity. The list is not intended to be exhaustive; exclusion of hazard or risk does not negate its possibility and anyone engaging in any sport or physical activity has a duty to inform themselves of the possible risks associated with the activity and the ways to minimize or eliminate such risks. This information is intended to facilitate discussion between participants and organizers regarding the risks, hazards, and physical stresses associated with sport.

By participating in club sports each participant acknowledges and agrees that he or she is responsible for his/her own health and safety and assumes the risks of participating in club sports. By electing to participate as a member of Tortola Sports Club (The Club) each participant is representing that he or she has assessed his or her own ability and been cleared by his or her medical and/or mental health professionals to participate in any club sports activities. By participating each participant agrees to conform his or her behavior to sportsmanlike standards and to comply with all applicable rules of the sport, regulations and all applicable laws.

Likewise, each individual agrees to be solely responsible for his or her own actions and recognizes that the University assumes no responsibility for actions of any participant.

1. Loss of vision as a result of body or object contact. Wearing protective eye guards or other protective equipment can reduce this hazard.

1. Participants are obligated to wear proper attire, such as tennis shoes or squash shoes for the appropriate court, and to use the proper protective equipment in the proper and appropriate manner. The participant must realize that a failure on his or her part to do so puts him/her at the risk of injury or fatality and does so at his or her own peril .
