FRWRD Training: Athlete Training Waiver and Release of Liability

Please read carefully. If the participant is under 18, a parent or guardian must complete this form on their behalf before training begins.

Assumption of Risk

I understand that participation in athletic performance training, strength and conditioning, speed and agility training, weightlifting, plyometrics, cardiovascular conditioning, sport-specific drills, and related physical activities involves inherent risks. These risks may include, but are not limited to, muscle strains and sprains, cuts, bruises, and fractures, heat illness, concussions, equipment-related injuries, serious bodily injury, permanent disability, and death. I voluntarily choose to participate and knowingly assume all risks associated with participation.

Medical Acknowledgment and Emergency Treatment

I certify that the participant is physically capable of participating in training activities and has no medical condition that would prevent safe participation. It is my responsibility to inform the coach or trainer of any medical conditions, injuries, allergies, medications, or limitations before participation. I authorize the staff, coaches, or representatives of FRWRD Training to obtain emergency medical treatment for the participant if deemed necessary, and I understand that I am financially responsible for any medical care provided.

Release of Liability

In consideration of participation in this program, I, on behalf of myself, my child, my heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, hereby release, waive, discharge, and hold harmless FRWRD Training, its owners, coaches, employees, contractors, volunteers, and affiliates from any and all claims, liabilities, demands, actions, or causes of action arising out of or related to any injury, illness, loss, or damage resulting from participation, including those caused by negligence, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Social Media, Photo, and Video Release

Participation in FRWRD Training includes acknowledgment that athletes may appear in photographs and video recordings used for promotional, educational, and social media purposes, including training sessions, events, and activities, whether as the primary focus or incidentally in the background. I grant FRWRD Training, its owners, coaches, employees, contractors, and representatives the irrevocable right to photograph, record, edit, publish, post, and use the participant's name, image, likeness, voice, performance, and video footage in any medium, including social media, website content, advertisements, and print or digital marketing, with no compensation and no right to inspect or approve final content. Parents or guardians who do not want a participant to appear in individually focused social media content may contact FRWRD Training directly in writing; reasonable efforts will be made to accommodate such requests, though exclusion from incidental or background appearances in group content cannot be guaranteed.

Rules of Conduct and Cancellation Policy

Unsafe, disruptive, abusive, or inappropriate behavior may result in removal from training sessions without refund. Participants agree to follow all instructions and safety guidelines provided by coaches and staff. Payments are non-refundable unless otherwise stated in writing. Missed sessions may or may not be eligible for makeup sessions at the discretion of FRWRD Training. A minimum 24-hour notice is required for cancellation of scheduled private sessions.

Minor Participant Acknowledgment

If the participant is under 18 years of age, the parent or guardian submitting this form acknowledges they have read and understood this waiver and agree to its terms on behalf of the minor participant.
