Annual Registration & Waiver Form In an effort to streamline the registration process, an annual registration and waiver form has been developed.

Call Danielle Marino at 330-762-9755, ext. 233 to request a form via mail. IMPORTANT POLICY CHANGE: To ensure the health and safety of all participants, this form must be completed and returned to UDS before participating in any UDS All-Star Training Club program.

Note: If a participant requires visual supervision or is not independent in his/her personal care, a caregiver MUST accompany the participant to each activity, as UDS All-Star Training Club staff members cannot guarantee constant visual supervision.
