1. The Activities

Flag Training Football ("the Company") provides private and small-group flag football instruction, including warm-ups, sprinting, cutting and change-of-direction work, jumping, catching, throwing, route running, flag pulling, defensive pursuit, agility and footwork drills, and live small-sided competitive play (the "Activities"). Sessions take place at the residence identified above, in the yard, driveway, or garage, or at a nearby outdoor open space coordinated in advance between the family and the coach (each, a "Training Location").

2. Express Assumption of Risk

I understand that flag football and athletic training are physical, competitive activities involving inherent risks that cannot be eliminated even with careful coaching and full compliance with safety rules. These risks include, without limitation:

• Falls on grass, pavement, concrete, or uneven ground, including driveways and residential yards;
• Contact and collisions with other participants, the coach, equipment, cones, fences, trees, structures, or vehicles;
• Sprains, strains, dislocations, and broken bones;
• Concussion and other head, neck, and spine injuries, whose symptoms may be delayed and which can have serious long-term effects;
• Heat exhaustion, heat stroke, dehydration, and cold-weather injury;
• Injuries caused by surface conditions, weather, insects, or animals at the Training Location;
• Aggravation of pre-existing conditions;
• In rare cases, permanent disability, paralysis, or death.

I acknowledge that Training Locations are residential properties and public open spaces, not regulation athletic facilities, and that this is a feature of the service I am choosing. I have had the opportunity to ask questions about the Activities and the risks, and to decline participation. On behalf of myself and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Participant, I knowingly, voluntarily, and expressly assume all risks of the Activities, both inherent and otherwise, whether or not listed above, including risks arising from the ordinary negligence of the Released Parties.

3. Property Condition — Owner's Representation and Responsibility

Where the Training Location is property I own, rent, or control, I represent that I have inspected it, that it is reasonably suitable for youth athletic activity, and that I have disclosed in writing to the Company all known hazards (including uneven or soft ground, holes, sprinkler heads, septic covers, low branches, pool edges, and debris). I agree that the condition of my property is my responsibility, not the Company's; that coaches rely on my disclosure; and that the Company has no duty to inspect for latent defects on my property.

4. Health Representation and Concussion Acknowledgment

I represent that the Participant is in good health, physically able to participate, and cleared for athletic activity, and that I have disclosed all relevant medical conditions, allergies, and limitations in writing. I agree to update the Company immediately if this changes. I acknowledge receiving, reading, and understanding basic concussion information, including that a participant showing signs of head injury will be removed from the session and should not return to activity until cleared by a licensed healthcare professional. I agree the Company may end any session out of caution and that safety-based removal is never grounds for refund disputes beyond the Company's posted rescheduling policies.

5. Waiver, Release, and Covenant Not to Sue

To the fullest extent permitted by New York law, I, for myself, my spouse, heirs, assigns, and legal representatives, and on behalf of the Participant to the extent permitted by law:

• (a) release, waive, and forever discharge the Company, its owners, members, officers, employees, coaches, independent contractors, volunteers, and agents (the "Released Parties") from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, costs, and liability of every kind, including claims arising from the ordinary negligence of any Released Party, arising out of or in any way related to the Participant's involvement in the Activities;
• (b) covenant not to sue any Released Party on any released claim, and agree that this Agreement may be pleaded as a complete bar to any such action;
• (c) acknowledge that this release does not extend to gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct, or to any liability that cannot be waived under applicable law.

6. Indemnification and Hold Harmless

To the fullest extent permitted by law, I agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of:

• (a) claims brought by or on behalf of the Participant that I lacked authority to waive;
• (b) claims by third parties (including other households' athletes or guests) arising from the Participant's acts;
• (c) undisclosed or misrepresented hazards on property I own, rent, or control; and
• (d) my breach of this Agreement,

in each case except to the extent caused by a Released Party's gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

7. Supervision, Conduct, and Semi-Private Sessions

I agree that:

• (a) a parent or guardian of the Participant will be present on the property (or at the coordinated Training Location) for the entire session;
• (b) coaches will not enter the home and will not transport the Participant;
• (c) all scheduling and communication runs through Company channels; and
• (d) I will ensure the Participant follows coach instructions and safety rules.

For semi-private sessions hosted at another family's property, I consent to my athlete training at that location under the supervision requirement above, and I acknowledge the host family makes the property representations in Section 3 for that location.

8. Medical Authorization

If the Participant is injured and the attending parent/guardian cannot act, I authorize the Company to call emergency services and consent to emergency medical treatment for the Participant at my expense. Coaches are not medical professionals; their obligation is limited to summoning emergency assistance and providing basic first aid if able.

9. Insurance

I understand the Company maintains commercial general liability insurance, and that the Participant's own health insurance is primary for any injury-related medical expenses.

10. Dispute Resolution — Binding Arbitration and Class Waiver

Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Activities that is not resolved informally shall be resolved by binding arbitration in Nassau County or Suffolk County, New York, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its applicable rules, before a single arbitrator. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. All claims must be brought individually; class, collective, and representative actions are waived. This section does not apply to claims that by law cannot be arbitrated.

11. Photo/Video (Optional — choose one)

• Option A: I consent to photography/recording for coaching feedback and promotional use, without compensation.
• Option B: Coaching-feedback use only; no promotional use.

12. General Terms

This Agreement is governed by New York law. Any claim not subject to arbitration shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Nassau County or Suffolk County, New York. To the extent permitted by law, any claim must be commenced within one (1) year of the date it accrues. If any provision is held unenforceable, it shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remainder continues in full force. This Agreement is continuing and covers all sessions and courses in which the Participant participates unless revoked by me in writing before a session. It is the entire agreement between the parties on its subject and supersedes any conflicting statement on the Company's website or marketing materials.

13. Acknowledgment

I HAVE READ THIS ENTIRE AGREEMENT. I UNDERSTAND IT IS A LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT UNDER WHICH I GIVE UP SUBSTANTIAL LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO SUE FOR ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE AND THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. I SIGN IT FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY.
