Risk & Liability Policy

This article is part of Intramural Sports policies:
Eligibility | Risk & Liability | Captains | Sportsmanship | Scheduling | Forfeits | Protests | Ejection

Participation in the UW-Stout Intramural Sports Program is completely voluntary. Each individual participating in the Intramural Sports Program assumes the risk for any harm or injuries incurred while participating. Therefore, it is strongly suggested that each individual has sufficient health insurance coverage either through the University or through their own personal insurance. 

All injuries incurred while participating in the program should be reported immediately to the Intramural Sports Supervisor on duty. An injury report will be completed and kept on file for all injuries.

Any player that is bleeding must leave the game immediately. The bleeding must be stopped and the wound securely covered with a bandage before that player can continue playing. If there is blood on clothing it must be changed before being allowed to re-enter a game.

As a safety precaution for all participants, NO JEWERLY of any kind, with the exception of a medical alert bracelets (which will be taped down), can be worn at any time! Taping, covering or concealing jewelry is not allowed. No exceptions to this policy will be made.
Due to risk and liability, Intramural Sports reserves the right to ask participants to remove any and all head gear during Intramural activities
