4. These risks may be caused by the negligence of the participant or negligence of others and there may be other risks not known to us at this time.
5. I, my executors or other representatives, waive and release all rights and claims for damages that I or my child
may have against Rising Star Gymnastics and/or its representatives whether paid or volunteer.
