safety and insurance information
NSSRA is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in the safest manner possible and holds participants ' safety in the highest possible regard. Participants and parents registering for recreation programs must recognize, however, that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreational activities. NSSRA continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that participants follow all safety rules and instructions designed to protect the participants ' safety.
Please recognize that NSSRA does not carry medical accident insurance for injuries sustained in its programs. The cost of such would make program fees prohibitive. Therefore, each person registering themselves or a family member for a recreation program / activity should review their own insurance coverage. It must be noted that the absence of health insurance coverage does not make NSSRA automatically responsible for the payment of medical expenses.
Due to the difficulty and exorbitant cost of obtaining liability insurance, the agency providing liability coverage for NSSRA requires the execution of a Waiver and Release. Certain high-risk activities may require an additional waiver prior to participation. This waiver must be signed before participation in a program. See NSSRA’ s High-Risk Waiver Policy on page 68 for more information.
