PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!

This waiver & declaration must be completed prior to your attendance at your coaching certification course.

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19 has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is known to spread mainly by contact from person to person. Consequently, local, provincial and federal governmental authorities recommend various measures and prohibit a variety of behaviors, in order to reduce the spread of the virus. 

The course you are registered for has been redesigned (and measures put in place) to keep it as COVID-19 safe as possible. However, the Ontario Tennis Association (OTA) cannot guarantee that you (or your child, if participant is a minor/ or the person you are the tutor or legal guardian of) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending this course could increase your (or your child, if participant is a minor/ or the person you are the tutor or legal guardian of) risk of contracting COVID-19, despite all preventative measures put in place.
