Parental Consent, Assumption of Risk, Release & Indemnification
In consideration of the minor named above ("the Athlete") being permitted to take
part in athletic conditioning, sports performance training, football skills work, mobility and
corrective exercise, and related physical activities, and — only where I opt in below —
supervised recovery modalities including sauna use and brief cold-water immersion
("Contrast Recovery") (together, the "Activities") offered by the Program and
its owners, employees, contractors, and agents (the "Released Parties"), I agree as follows:
1. Authority. I am the parent or legal guardian of the Athlete and have full authority
to sign on the Athlete's behalf.
2. Assumption of Risk. I understand the Activities involve inherent and other risks,
including but not limited to strains, sprains, fractures, contact and collision, slips and falls,
overexertion, heat and cold exposure, cardiac events, and other serious injury or, in rare cases,
death. I knowingly and voluntarily accept and assume all such risks, known and unknown, for
myself and on behalf of the Athlete.
3. Contrast Recovery (Sauna & Cold Plunge) — Separate Consent. If I opt in
below, the Athlete may take part in a coached, age-appropriate Contrast Recovery protocol:
time-limited, temperature-moderated sauna and cold-water immersion, conducted under direct staff
supervision per the Program's posted youth protocol, with the Athlete free to decline or stop at
any time. I understand Contrast Recovery carries risks distinct from exercise, including but not
limited to dizziness, fainting, cold shock response, hypothermia, burns, changes in heart rate and
blood pressure, and slips and falls on wet surfaces. I confirm the Athlete has no heart condition,
uncontrolled blood pressure issue, seizure disorder, or circulatory condition (such as Raynaud's)
that I have not disclosed above, and that I will inform the Program of any changes. If I do not
opt in, the Athlete simply sits out the Contrast Recovery portion of the session.
4. Medical Fitness & Care. I represent the Athlete is in good health and able to
participate except as disclosed above, and I authorize the Released Parties to secure emergency
medical care if I cannot be reached. I accept responsibility for resulting costs.
5. Release. To the fullest extent permitted by California law, I, on behalf of myself,
the Athlete, and our heirs and representatives, release and discharge the Released Parties from
all claims arising out of participation in the Activities — except claims arising
from the Released Parties' gross negligence or willful misconduct, which are not released.
6. Indemnification / Hold Harmless. I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the
Released Parties from any claim, damage, or cost (including reasonable attorneys' fees) brought
by or on behalf of the Athlete or any third party arising from the Athlete's participation,
except to the extent caused by the Released Parties' gross negligence or willful misconduct.
7. Governing Law / Severability. This agreement is governed by California law. If any
part is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect and the release is given the broadest
scope the law allows.
8. Acknowledgment. I have read this agreement, understand I am giving up substantial
legal rights, and sign it freely.
