THIS AGREEMENT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND THE LEGAL RIGHTS OF YOUR CHILD. 1. Parties and Program. This Agreement is made by the undersigned parent or legal guardian ("Parent/Guardian"), individually and on behalf of the minor child named below ("Participant"), in favor of The Performance Barn Training, LLC ("Performance Barn Training"), and its owners, members, officers, employees, coaches, instructors, contractors, agents, and volunteers, together with MBW Training Center LLC as owner of the premises at 15870 Frederick Road (collectively, the "Released Parties"). The "Program" means all winter lacrosse training conducted by Performance Barn Training, including group sessions, team practices, private lessons, clinics, warm ups, speed and agility work, and strength and conditioning, whether held inside the facility or on the outdoor field adjacent to it. 2. Acknowledgment of Risk. Lacrosse is a contact sport. Participation in the Program involves inherent risks that cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken by the Released Parties. These risks include, without limitation, being struck by a ball, stick, or another player; collisions with players, coaches, goals, nets, walls, and equipment; slips and falls on turf, grass, or wet or uneven surfaces; sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations, cuts, and dental or eye injuries; concussion and other head, neck, and spinal injuries; overexertion, dehydration, and heat or cold related illness; exposure to weather during outdoor training; and the conduct of other participants or third parties. In rare cases these risks may result in serious injury, permanent disability, paralysis, or death. 3. Assumption of Risk. I have read and understand the risks described above. On behalf of myself and the Participant, I knowingly and voluntarily assume all risks of injury, illness, loss, or damage arising from the Participant's involvement in the Program, whether known or unknown, and whether or not described in this Agreement. 4. Release and Waiver of Liability. In consideration of the Participant being permitted to take part in the Program and to use the facility, I, for myself, the Participant, and our heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, release, waive, and forever discharge the Released Parties from any and all claims, demands, losses, and causes of action arising out of or related to the Participant's participation in the Program or presence on the premises, INCLUDING CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES. This release does not extend to claims arising from gross negligence or intentional, willful, or reckless misconduct, to the extent such claims may not be waived under Maryland law. 5. Indemnification. I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from any claim, cost, or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, brought by or on behalf of the Participant or any other person, arising out of the Participant's participation in the Program, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of a Released Party. 6. Equipment and Conduct. The Participant will wear all protective equipment required by the coaching staff, which for field players generally includes a properly fitted helmet meeting current NOCSAE lacrosse standards, mouthguard, gloves, shoulder pads, arm pads, and appropriate footwear, and for goalies includes a throat guard and chest protector. I am responsible for providing equipment that fits properly and is in good condition. The Participant will follow the instructions of coaches and staff and all posted facility rules. Performance Barn Training may remove any Participant from a session for unsafe or unsportsmanlike conduct, without refund. 7. Concussion Awareness. I have been informed of the common signs and symptoms of concussion, including headache, dizziness, confusion, nausea, sensitivity to light or noise, and changes in balance or behavior. A Participant suspected of sustaining a concussion will be removed from activity and may not return until cleared in writing by a licensed health care provider. I will inform staff if the Participant has suffered a concussion or head injury within the past twelve months. 8. Medical Authorization. I represent that the Participant is in good health and physically able to participate, and that I have disclosed below any medical condition, allergy, injury, or medication that staff should be aware of. If the Participant is injured or becomes ill and I cannot be reached, I authorize the Released Parties to obtain emergency medical care for the Participant, including transport to a hospital, and I accept responsibility for all costs of that care. Performance Barn Training does not provide medical or accident insurance for participants. 9. Photo and Video Release. I grant Performance Barn Training permission to photograph and record the Participant during the Program and to use those images for promotional purposes, including on its website and social media, without compensation. To decline this permission, 10. General Provisions. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, and venue for any dispute shall lie in Howard County, Maryland. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. This Agreement applies to all Program sessions during the 2026–27 winter season, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties on its subject, and may be amended only in writing.
