1. Fill out a waiver. Everybody must have a waiver on file with UCLA Recreation before coming and even trying out workouts with the team. The waiver is available online this year with an accompanying administration fee. Whether you are new to the UCLA Club Sports Program or you are returning from last year, you must have this filled out or we will not allow you to participate at any official team events. Simply follow these instructions to complete your waiver online. If you experience trouble using the online registration, you can go in person to the Sales Desk at the John Wooden Center, which is located in the southeast corner on the first floor.
