Activity & Sports Waivers Forms
About Activity & Sports Waivers Forms
Activity and sports waiver forms are structured documents used to collect participant acknowledgments and consent before joining physical activities, sports programs, or events. They help organizers communicate risks, confirm participant understanding, and document agreement to liability terms, safety rules, and participation requirements. Activity and sports waiver forms are commonly used by gyms, sports clubs, schools, camps, event organizers, trainers, and recreational facilities for leagues, classes, tournaments, fitness sessions, and outdoor activities. These forms often include participant details, emergency contact information, medical considerations, and required signatures. By standardizing waivers, organizations reduce administrative friction, improve safety communication, and keep participation records organized.
With Jotform, activity and sports waiver forms can be created quickly using a no-code, drag-and-drop Form Builder and optimized for mobile sign-ups at check-in. Conditional logic can show different waiver language based on activity type, participant age, or risk level. Jotform Sign makes it easy to collect e-signatures, and submissions are stored in Jotform Tables for easy access and record keeping. Automated confirmations and notifications help organizers track completed waivers and follow up with participants who haven’t submitted yet.
