COVID- 19
The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization.
COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result,
federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend physical distancing and
have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups and people. Please see our website www.riverfallsgymnastics.com for our current COVID-19 guidelines.
The River Falls Gymnastics Club (RFGC) has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-
19; however, RFGC cannot guarantee that you, your children, or any other person, will not become infected
with COVID-19. Further, attending RFGC sponsored activities could increase your risk and your child or

exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. I understand that the
risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at RFGC activities may result from the actions, omissions, or
negligence of myself and others, including but not limited to RFGC employees, volunteers, and program
participants and their families.
I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my child or
children or myself, including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, death, illness, damage, loss, claim,
liability, or expense or any kind, that I or my child or children may experience or incur in connection with my child
or children's attendance at RFGC activities or programming. On my behalf and on behalf of my child or children, I
hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless and indemnify RFGC, its employees, agents,
and representatives, of and from any and all claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or

Health and Wellness Policy
Health and Wellness Policy
If your child has flu or cold like symptoms, ear infection, pink eye, lice, whooping cough, etc. your child CANNOT attend class. A good rule of thumb is that if your child was not able to attend school or is dismissed early he or she cannot attend gymnastics class. If we feel your child is showing signs of illness, we will dismiss your child from class to a parent or guardian. If your child has been diagnosed with an illness listed above or any other illness that may infect another child; and has been in gymnastics class during a time where you may think they could have infected others, please contact the office. We at River Falls Gymnastics Club will do our best to inform classmates of any serious or highly infectious illnesses that may have been presented by a fellow gymnast. We also will continue to do our part in disinfecting mats and other items in the gym.
Simple Tips to Staying Healthy:
-Hand washing with soap and warm water for at least 30 seconds
-Wash hands before, after and during class if needed
-Coughing and sneezing into your elbow, use a tissue and keep hands away from facial areas
-Avoid touching other children
-Cuts, scrapes, rashes, etc. should be covered when in the gym
Medical Emergencies
I fully understand that the staff of the River Falls Gymnastics Club are not physicians or medical practitioners of any kind. With that in mind, I hereby release River Falls Gymnastics Club to render first aid to my child in the event of any injury or illness. As a parent or legal guardian, I agree to provide health insurance for the minor child and/or guarantee payment of any medical expenses incurred as a result of training, performing, or participation in activities with the River Falls Gymnastics Club.
