1. Activities. I am the parent or legal guardian of the athlete named above, and I give permission for the athlete to take part in football training with University Gridiron, including private sessions, small groups, flag football, speed and agility clinics, camps, timed testing (such as the 40-yard dash, shuttle and 10-yard burst), strength and conditioning, and related activities (the “Activities”).
2. Risks. I understand that football and athletic training involve physical contact, running, cutting, jumping, throwing, catching and lifting, and carry risks including, but not limited to, sprains, strains, fractures, concussions and other head injuries, heat illness, dehydration and, in rare cases, serious injury or death. Risks can come from the athlete’s own actions, other participants, equipment, weather and field conditions. I knowingly and voluntarily accept these risks on behalf of the athlete and myself.
3. Health. I confirm that, to my knowledge, the athlete is physically able to take part in the Activities, and I have listed any medical condition, allergy, medication or injury above. I will tell Coach English before a session if anything changes. I understand coaches may remove the athlete from an activity if they believe it is unsafe for the athlete to continue.
4. Release. To the fullest extent allowed by law, I release, waive and agree not to sue University Gridiron, Coach English, and its owners, coaches, staff, volunteers and guest instructors (the “Released Parties”) for any injury, illness, loss or damage to the athlete or to me arising from the Activities, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Released Party.
5. Medical treatment. If the athlete is injured or becomes ill and I cannot be reached right away, I authorize the Released Parties to obtain emergency medical care for the athlete, including transport to a medical facility. I am responsible for the cost of any such care.
6. Conduct. The athlete will follow coaches’ instructions and safety rules. Coaches may end an athlete’s participation in a session for unsafe or disrespectful behavior.
7. General. This waiver covers all sessions, clinics and camps the athlete attends with University Gridiron until I withdraw it in writing to info@universitygridiron.com. If any part of it is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. I have read this waiver, I understand it, and I sign it voluntarily.
