Club Affiliation: If you are a member of a club or team, you'll need to ensure that you are properly affiliated with that organization. This typically involves filling out the appropriate paperwork and submitting it to the relevant parties. (San Francisco Water Polo Club Warriors #31681)

Covid Waiver: In light of the ongoing pandemic, it's likely that you'll be required to sign a Covid waiver before participating in the junior Olympics. This waiver will outline the measures that have been put in place to protect players from the spread of the virus, and it will require you to acknowledge that you understand and accept these measures.

Additional Waivers: Depending on the specific requirements of the Junior Olympics, you may also be required to sign additional waivers. These could include waivers for medical treatment, liability, or other purposes. It's important to read these waivers carefully and make sure you understand the terms before signing.

By following this checklist and making sure that all of these items are taken care of, you'll be well on your way to being eligible to participate in the Junior Olympics. Good luck!
