We, the staff of Elite Gymnastics
recognize our obligation to make our students and their parents
aware of the risks and hazards associated with the sport of gymnastics,
tumbling, cheer leading, rock climbing, swimming and dance. Students
may suffer injuries, possibly minor, serious, or catastrophic in
nature. Gymnastics, tumbling, cheer leading, rock climbing, swimming
and dance can be dangerous and can lead to injury!
Parents should make their children aware of the possibility of
injury
and encourage their children to follow all the safety rules and
the coaches' instructions. The parent should warn the child according
to what the parent feels is appropriate. Elite Gymnastics will
only
warn the child through "Safety Messages" and our teaching
style and progressions.
Elite Gymnastics, its coaches and other staff members, will not
accept responsibility for injuries sustained by any student
during the course
of gymnastics, tumbling, cheerleading, rock climbing, swimming
or dance instruction, or open workouts, or in the course of
any exhibition, competition, or clinic in which he or she may participate
in the
programs offered by Elite Gymnastics.
I fully understand that Elite Gymnastics staff members are
not physicians or medical practitioners of any kind. With
the above
in mind, I hereby
release the Elite Gymnastics staff to render temporary first
aid to my child or children in the event of any injury or
illness and,
if deemed necessary by the Elite Gymnastics staff, to call
our doctor and to seek medical help, including transportation
by
an Elite Gymnastics
staff member and/ or its representatives, whether paid or
volunteer, to any health care facility or hospital, or the calling
of
an ambulance for said child should the Elite Gymnastics staff
deem
this to be
necessary.
I also understand that it is the parents' responsibility
to warn the child about the dangers of gymnastics and injury.
I, my executors or other representatives, waive and release
all rights and claims for damages that I or my child
may have against
Elite
Gymnastics and/or its representatives whether paid or
volunteer.
