I have read Agamenticus Ski Club’s COVID-19 Staff and Volunteer Protocol* and the CDC Cloth Face Mask Summary. I agree to comply with these guidelines, which are based on the CDC’s Considerations for Youth Sports, Maine’s CDC guidelines for community sport activities and US Ski and Snowboard’s return to training and competition. I will refrain from coaching, volunteering or supporting Agamenticus Ski Club sponsored Programs or Activities in any capacity if not safe to do so, per the guidelines. I agree that I will hold Agamenticus Ski Club harmless for any illness or injury. I am aware that no activity is free from risk, and even with these additional guidelines in place, all social interactions carry an increased risk of infection. I understand that the actions that I take directly impact the health of others and that supporting and participation in Agamenticus Ski Club programming is contingent upon compliance with these guidelines.  Aer signing, please e-mail document to: Agamenticus.skiclub@gmail.com.
All staff and volunteers agree to the COVID-19 Staff Protocol during Agamenticus Ski Club registration in SkiReg.
