By the very nature of the activity, gymnastics comes with a risk
of physical injury. No matter how careful the gymnast
and the coach are, no matter how many spotters are used, no matter what
height is used or what landing surface exists,
the risk cannot be eliminated. Reduced, yes, but never eliminated. The
risk of injuries includes minor injuries such as
bruises and more serious injuries such as broken bones, dislocations and
muscle pulls. The risk also includes
catastrophic injuries.
Gymnastics, or any activity that involves motion, rotation, and height
in a unique environment carries with it a
reasonable assumption of risk. Spotlight Gymnastics is responsible to
inform all participants and their parents or
guardians of the risk involved in the activity of gymnastics. Everyone
participating in the Spotlight Gymnastics program
must adhere to the safety rules governing the gymnasium.

be legally bound, our signature is offered hereto:
