Release of Liability and Disclaimer

6. In consideration of the Organization allowing me to participate, I agree:

  • That the sole responsibility for my safety remains with me.
  • To ASSUME all risks arising out of, associated with, or related to my participation.
  • That I am not relying on any oral or written statements made by the Organization or its agents, whether in a brochure or advertisement or in individual conversations, to agree to participate in the Activities.
  • To WAIVE any and all claims that I may have now or in the future against the Organization.
  • To freely ACCEPT AND FULLY ASSUME all such risks and possibility of personal injury, loss of life, property damage, expense, and related loss, including loss of income, resulting from my participation in the Activities.
  • To FOREVER RELEASE the Organization from any and all liability for any and all claims, demands, actions, damages (including direct, indirect, special and/or consequential), losses, actions, judgments, and costs (including legal fees) (collectively, the “Claims”) which I have or may have in the future, that might arise out of, result from, or relate to my participation in the Activities, even though such Claims may have been caused by any manner whatsoever, including but not limited to, the negligence, gross negligence, negligent rescue, omissions, carelessness, breach of contract and/or breach of any statutory duty of care of the Organization;

Jurisdiction

7. I agree that in the event that I file a lawsuit against the Organization, I will do so solely in the Province of Alberta and further agree that the substantive law of the Province of Alberta will apply without regard to conflict of law rules.

I have read and agree to be bound by paragraphs 5 to 7

COVID-19 FAMILY AGREEMENT

Doing my part to keep Precision Gymnastics and my favorite gymnast safe.

I want to do my part to help Precision Gymnastics keep my child(ren), her teammates, the coaches, other families and everyone else at the gym as safe as possible under the Covid-19 pandemic. I have read, understood and agree to follow the following policies and procedures.

I understand and agree that:

  • I will drop my gymnast off (Front door) and pick her/him up at the designated door (side door) to the gym.
  • Both I and my gymnast will have a cell phone to communicate with her/him when I arrive to pick her/him up. If cell phone texting is not available, a coach will accompany remaining gymnasts out to meet their parents with 6’ distancing.
  • Only one parent or non-participating individual will be allowed to enter the building at the main entrance.
  • Precision Gymnastics suggests to wear a mask when entering Precision Gymnastics facility.
  • I am aware that my child may wear a mask but that she/he is not required to do so.
  • If no seating is available for observation, I will exit the facility.
  • There will be reduced hands-on spotting for at least the first month of practice after Precision Gymnastics re-opens.
  • I will support the social distancing standard of 6’ to 10’ while at the gym.
  • Practice start and end times will be staggered to insure time for the gymnasts to get in and out of the gym safely, to provide time to wipe down the equipment between each practice and for teachers to thoroughly wash their hands.
  • My gymnast will have regular opportunities to use the hand sanitizing stations available in all areas of the facility.
  • My gymnast will use the restroom and wash her/his hands thoroughly before leaving home and while at the gym as needed.  
  • My gymnast will bring her/his clearly marked bag to the gym each day with all recommended items included.
  • I will have my gymnast wash hands and feet thoroughly upon arriving back home and her/his bag will be cleaned upon arriving home and again before she/he brings it back into the gym.
  • I agree to keep my gymnast home if she/he or anyone in my family is coughing, has a temperature over 100 (38'C), or other Covid-19 symptoms.
  • I understand and agree that these procedures will change and evolve over time and that I will follow any new standards required by the Province of Alberta and/or Precision Gymnastics.

 I understand that the coaches and everyone at the gym will make a strong effort to maintain social distancing but that there will be times when incidental contact and less than prescribed physical distancing will occur. I am aware and agree that spotting is an essential part of training my gymnast in order to keep her/him safe and to prevent injury. I will allow my child to be spotted when spotting is necessary. I further understand that I am voluntarily allowing my child to participate in programs and activities offered by Precision Gymnastics by Academy of Gymnastics Inc., knowing that it is impossible to keep her/him, myself or anyone else who enters the gym completely safe from exposure to the Covid-19 virus. I accept that risk.

We have read and agree to be bound by the definitions, acknowledgements:
