VOLLEY WISCONSIN
PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT:
TERMS & CONDITIONS, POLICIES, AND WAIVERS
This PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into between Dietz
Ventures, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company doing business as VolleyWisconsin
("VolleyWisconsin," "we," "us," or "our"), and the undersigned participant or, if the participant is
under 18 years of age, the participant's parent or legal guardian (together, "you"). By registering for,
booking, paying for, or participating in any VolleyWisconsin lesson, clinic, camp, or training session
(each, a "Session"), you agree to the terms below.
1. Programs, Booking, and Payment. VolleyWisconsin provides volleyball training to athletes in
individual, small-group, and group formats at partner facilities throughout Wisconsin. Sessions must
be booked and paid for in advance through our booking platform or as otherwise directed by
VolleyWisconsin. Your booking is not confirmed until payment is received.
Session times, locations, and coach assignments are subject to availability. VolleyWisconsin may
substitute a coach of comparable qualification when necessary. Posted prices are subject to change,
but a confirmed, paid booking will be honored at the price paid.
2. Cancellation Policy. At VolleyWisconsin, we reserve court time and schedule coaches specifically
for each athlete. Because each of our facility partners has different reservation requirements,
cancellation policies vary by location. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

3. Code of Conduct. All participants, including athletes, parents, guardians, and spectators, are
expected to abide by the following Code of Conduct at all VolleyWisconsin Sessions and facilities:
• Treat all athletes, coaches, staff, facility personnel, and spectators with respect and dignity at all
times.
• Follow all rules of the host facility, including parking, spectator, and equipment policies.
• Direct concerns or complaints to VolleyWisconsin leadership by email following a 24-hour
cooling-off period. Coaches will not engage in disputes during or immediately after a Session.
• Abusive language, harassment, threats, or physical aggression of any kind will not be tolerated.
VolleyWisconsin may, in its discretion, remove any participant or spectator from a Session, or suspend
or terminate future participation, for conduct that violates this Code of Conduct or endangers the safety
or experience of others. Fees for Sessions ended or forfeited due to a conduct violation are non-
refundable.
4. Concussion and Head Injury Policy. VolleyWisconsin follows Wisconsin's youth concussion law,
Wis. Stat. § 118.293, and the concussion guidance published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC HEADS UP program, available at cdc.gov/headsup).
Participation Agreement 3 of 5 VolleyWisconsin
• Before an athlete's first Session, the athlete and (if the athlete is a minor) a parent or guardian
must review the concussion and head injury information sheet provided by VolleyWisconsin and
sign this acknowledgment.
• Any athlete who exhibits signs, symptoms, or behavior consistent with a concussion or head
injury, or who is suspected of having sustained one, will be removed from activity immediately.
• An athlete removed under this policy may not return to VolleyWisconsin activity until the athlete
is evaluated by a qualified health care provider and provides VolleyWisconsin with written
clearance to return.
By signing below, you acknowledge that you have received and reviewed concussion and head injury
information consistent with Wis. Stat. § 118.293 and agree to this policy.
5. Assumption of Risk, Release of Liability, and Indemnification. PLEASE READ
CAREFULLY. THIS SECTION AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. You are free to ask
questions about this section, request changes before signing, or decline to participate. Contact
VolleyWisconsin before signing if you have questions.
Assumption of Inherent Risks. Volleyball training is a physical activity that involves inherent risks
that cannot be eliminated even with proper equipment, coaching, and personal discipline. These risks
include, without limitation: sprains, strains, fractures, and other musculoskeletal injuries; contact with
balls, nets, poles, floors, walls, or other participants; falls and collisions; concussion and other head
injuries; heat-related illness; and, in rare cases, catastrophic injury, permanent disability, paralysis, or
death. Risks also arise from the condition of the facilities where Sessions are held, which are owned
and operated by third parties.
I understand these risks, and I knowingly and voluntarily assume all inherent risks of participation,
both known and unknown. I agree that the athlete will participate within the athlete's own abilities,
will use required equipment, and will follow coach and facility instructions. If I observe an unusual or
significant hazard, I will remove myself (or my athlete) from participation and immediately report the
hazard to the nearest VolleyWisconsin coach or staff member.
Release and Waiver. In consideration of being permitted to participate in VolleyWisconsin Sessions,
I, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representatives, and next of kin, release,
waive, and discharge Dietz Ventures, LLC d/b/a VolleyWisconsin, its members, officers, employees,
coaches, independent contractors, and agents, and the owners and lessors of the facilities where
Sessions are held (collectively, the "Released Parties"), from any and all claims, demands, or causes
of action for injury, disability, death, or loss or damage to person or property arising out of or relating
to participation in VolleyWisconsin Sessions, including claims based on the ordinary negligence of
the Released Parties, to the fullest extent permitted by Wisconsin law.
This release does not apply to claims arising from reckless, intentional, or criminal conduct, or to any
claim that cannot lawfully be waived. If any part of this release is held unenforceable, the remainder
shall continue in effect, and the release shall be enforced to the maximum extent Wisconsin law allows.
Participation by Minors; Parent Agreement. If the athlete is under 18, the undersigned parent or
legal guardian signs this Agreement on the athlete's behalf, represents that they have legal authority to
do so, and agrees to all terms of this Agreement both individually and on the athlete's behalf. The
parent or guardian personally assumes the inherent risks described above on their own behalf, releases
Participation Agreement 4 of 5 VolleyWisconsin
the Released Parties from the parent's or guardian's own claims arising from the athlete's participation,
and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from any claim brought by or on
behalf of the minor athlete, to the fullest extent permitted by Wisconsin law.
Medical Authorization. I authorize VolleyWisconsin coaches and staff to obtain or provide
emergency medical care for the athlete if a parent or guardian cannot be reached, and I accept financial
responsibility for any such care. I represent that the athlete is physically able to participate and has no
condition that would make participation unsafe, or that any such condition has been disclosed to
VolleyWisconsin in writing.
6. Communicable Disease Acknowledgment. An inherent risk of exposure to communicable
diseases, including COVID-19, influenza, and other illnesses, exists in any public place where people
are present. By attending any VolleyWisconsin Session, I voluntarily assume all risks related to
exposure to communicable disease, on my own behalf and on behalf of the athlete.
7. Photography and Media Consent (Optional). VolleyWisconsin occasionally photographs and
records Sessions for training review, advertising, social media, and other promotional purposes. This
consent is optional and is not a condition of participation. If consent is given below, I authorize
VolleyWisconsin to use the athlete's photograph, video, likeness, name, and comments for the
purposes described above, without compensation, and I waive any right to inspect or approve the
finished materials. I may revoke this consent as to future use at any time by written notice to
VolleyWisconsin; revocation does not apply to materials already published or in production.
Please check one:
• ☐ I CONSENT to VolleyWisconsin's use of the athlete's photograph, video, and likeness as
described above.
• ☐ I DO NOT CONSENT to promotional use of the athlete's photograph, video, or likeness.
8. General Terms
• Governing law and venue. This Agreement is governed by Wisconsin law. Any dispute arising
under this Agreement shall be brought in the state courts of Wisconsin.
• Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining
provisions remain in full force, and any invalid provision will be enforced to the maximum extent
permitted by law.
• Entire agreement; amendment. This Agreement, together with the booking confirmation for each
Session, is the entire agreement between the parties regarding participation and supersedes any
prior understanding. VolleyWisconsin may update its Terms & Conditions and policies
prospectively; updated terms apply to Sessions booked after the update is posted.
• Electronic signature. This Agreement may be signed electronically, including by checkbox
acknowledgment during online booking, and an electronic signature has the same effect as an
original.
