Participation
I am the parent or legal guardian of the minor participant identified above, or I am the participant if age 18 or older. I have authority to enter into this agreement and voluntarily consent to participation in programs and activities offered by Balance Soccer, LLC (Balance Soccer), including soccer training, private and small-group sessions, classes, clinics, Day Camps, competitions, scrimmages, games, fitness activities, and related athletic activities.
Activity risks
I understand that soccer and athletic activities involve inherent and other risks, including running, jumping, kicking, strenuous exercise, physical contact or collisions with other participants, falls, uneven or slippery playing surfaces, weather and outdoor conditions, goals, balls, cones and other equipment, and the acts or omissions of other participants. Injuries may include sprains, strains, fractures, concussions, illness, disability, or other serious injury. I knowingly and voluntarily assume the risks inherent in participation.
Health and safety
I certify that the participant is physically able to participate, and I accept responsibility for determining whether medical consultation is appropriate before participation. I agree to provide Balance Soccer with relevant medical, allergy, medication, or other safety information and to update that information when circumstances change.
Emergency care
If I cannot be reached in an emergency, I authorize Balance Soccer, its employees, coaches, contractors, and representatives to obtain or arrange reasonable emergency medical evaluation, first aid, emergency transportation, or treatment for the participant when they reasonably believe it is necessary. I understand that I am responsible for costs associated with such care to the extent not covered by insurance.
Release of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by Oregon law, I, on behalf of myself and the participant, release and hold harmless Balance Soccer, LLC and its owners, employees, coaches, contractors, agents, and representatives from claims arising from the ordinary risks of participation, including claims based on ordinary negligence, except to the extent a claim cannot lawfully be released. Nothing in this agreement is intended to waive rights or claims that Oregon law does not permit to be waived.
Player conduct
I agree that the participant will follow reasonable safety rules and staff instructions. Balance Soccer may remove a participant from an activity when staff reasonably believe the participant's conduct creates a safety risk or materially disrupts the program.
Governing law and scope
This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Oregon. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law. This agreement is intended to apply to Balance Soccer soccer programming other than overnight Summer Camp, which may require a separate or supplemental waiver because of its additional activities and risks.
Photo and video release
By signing this agreement, I also authorize Balance Soccer, LLC to photograph or film the participant during program activities and to use the participant’s image, video and first name on its website, social media, emails, paid advertising and printed materials. This permission does not authorize use of the participant’s full name, school name or social-media tag without separate permission. I may withdraw permission for future marketing use by emailing tyler@balancesoccer.com. Balance Soccer will stop future use and remove existing material where reasonably possible, but cannot guarantee removal of third-party shares or printed material already distributed. Balance Soccer respects a player’s refusal to be photographed or filmed, including when a parent has signed. New marketing uses after the participant turns 18 require the participant’s own permission. Private Film Study and recruitment calls are not recorded by Balance Soccer.
Acknowledgment
I have read and agree to both the participation waiver and the photo/video release above. I understand that this agreement affects legal rights, have had the opportunity to ask questions, and sign voluntarily. I am the participant age 18 or older, or the parent or legal guardian signing for the participant under 18.
