We want to thank you for being a part of the News Release Basketball tour this summer. Your
involvement is very important to the vitality of this ministry.
Participation in competitive athletics includes a risk of injury, which may range in severity from minor
to serious. Although serious injury and illness are not common in overseas tour participation, it is
impossible to totally eliminate this risk. Therefore, News Release Basketball cannot be held liable for
injury or illness incurred while on tour.
However, News Release Basketball will do everything possible to minimize these risks. The coaches
are trained in first aid, and understand how to teach fundamentals and techniques in order to avoid
injury. News Release Basketball directors have many years of tour experience. Activities during the
tour will be supervised, and a local contact will be present at games, scrimmages and practices to
expedite any care that may be needed from local health services.
In the unusual event that any doctor care or any other medical assistance is needed while on the tour,
News Release Basketball carries emergency medical/accident insurance of up to $25,000 per person. If
financial reimbursement from our insurance company comes to you for a medical bill that was paid by
News Release Basketball on tour, you must turn over that reimbursement to News Release Basketball.
For secondary insurance, or for amounts over the above limit, your insurance information is kept on file.
Please indicate the name of your insurance company and policy or group number below
As part of this News Release Basketball Team, it is vital we are on the same page concerning expected personal conduct.
Therefore, these are some basic guidelines:
We Will:
build Christ-like relationships
stay focused in purpose
celebrate life in Christ
We will-NOT:
socialize exclusively
drink excessively
or party out of control
Also, when making decisions keep the following Biblical principals in mind:
Will it be habit-forming? Will it control me? (1 Cor. 6:12)
Will it lead to excess? (Eph. 5:18)
Will it offend a weaker brother? (Rom. 14:21)
Will it harm my Christian testimony? (Rom 14:16)
Will it be beneficial? (1 Cor. 6:12)
Is it constructive? Will it build others up? (1 Cor. 10:23)
Am I certain that it is right? (Rom. 14:23)
Will it draw me closer to Christ?
CONGRATS & WELCOME TO THE TEAM!
