Parent/Guardian Consent, Assumption of Risk, Release, and Medical AuthorizationNOTICE TO PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIANREAD THIS FORM COMPLETELY AND CAREFULLY. You are being asked to give permission for a minor athlete to participate in basketball and related athletic activities that involve risk of serious injury, permanent disability, paralysis, or death. By signing this Agreement, you acknowledge those risks, consent to the Minor Athlete’s participation, provide emergency medical authorization, and agree to the release provisions stated below to the maximum extent permitted by Arizona law. You are not required to sign this Agreement. However, a Minor Athlete may not participate in the covered Activities without the required parent or legal guardian consent.
1. Parent/Guardian Authority and ConsentThe undersigned represents that they are the Minor Athlete’s parent or court-appointed legal guardian and have authority to give permission for the Minor Athlete to participate in the Activities covered by this Agreement. I GIVE MY INFORMED AND VOLUNTARY CONSENT FOR THE MINOR ATHLETE IDENTIFIED ABOVE TO ENTER AND USE NO BACKBOARD BASKETBALL GYM AND TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ACTIVITIES DESCRIBED IN THIS AGREEMENT. I understand that participation is voluntary. In consideration of the Minor Athlete being permitted to enter the Gym and participate in the covered Activities, I agree to the terms of this Agreement individually and, to the extent permitted by Arizona law, on behalf of the Minor Athlete. Signing this Agreement does not guarantee admission to any particular program, team, event, game, or competition. The operator may establish eligibility, registration, payment, scheduling, capacity, conduct, safety, and competition requirements. 2. Covered ActivitiesThis Agreement applies to basketball and related athletic activities conducted at, organized by, hosted by, or authorized through No Backboard Basketball Gym, including without limitation: • recreational basketball and open gym play; • pickup games and organized open runs; • basketball training and skill development; • conditioning and athletic development; • team practices and workouts; • No Backboard Basketball training and scrimmages; • leagues and league games; • showcases and exhibition games; • tournaments; • competitions and competitive events; • tryouts; • camps and clinics; • shooting, ball-handling, performance testing, and related drills; • warmups, cooldowns, transitions, and basketball-related equipment use; • and reasonable activities incidental to participation in the foregoing. Collectively, these are referred to as the “Activity.” The Activity may involve traditional basketball equipment as well as No Backboard Basketball equipment, including a smaller-aperture basketball rim without a backboard. This Agreement applies while the Minor Athlete is participating in the Activity or is present in areas of the Gym reasonably associated with participation. 3. Released Parties“Released Parties” means: 1. No Backboard Basketball League, LLC, doing business as No Backboard Basketball League, and its officers, members, employees, contractors, volunteers, and agents; 2. Eduprize Schools Inc., as owner/landlord of the premises located at 1383 E Baseline Rd, Gilbert, Arizona 85233, and its applicable affiliates, officers, employees, and agents, solely with respect to use of the premises. 4. Acknowledgment and Assumption of RiskThe Parent/Guardian understands that basketball and related athletic activities are physically demanding and involve running, jumping, rapid changes of direction, physical contact, collisions, falls, and competitive play on a hard playing surface. The Minor Athlete may be participating around other athletes, basketballs, rims, nets, support structures, walls, padding, flooring, officials, coaches, cameras, spectators, and other equipment. Risks include, without limitation: • sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations, cuts, bruises, and overuse injuries; • knee, ankle, shoulder, hand, finger, and other orthopedic injuries; • dental and facial injuries; • head injury and concussion; • spinal injury, paralysis, catastrophic injury, and death; • dehydration, heat illness, cardiac events, and aggravation of existing medical conditions; • slipping, falling, jumping, landing, and player-to-player contact; • collisions with persons, walls, flooring, basketball equipment, or other objects; • contact with basketballs, rims, nets, support structures, or equipment; • equipment or facility malfunction or failure; • differences in participant age, size, speed, strength, skill, or experience; • actions or omissions of other athletes, coaches, officials, spectators, or third parties; • and emergency-response or first-aid decisions made under time pressure. I UNDERSTAND THAT THESE RISKS CANNOT BE COMPLETELY ELIMINATED WITHOUT FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGING THE NATURE OF THE ACTIVITY. I knowingly acknowledge and accept the inherent and other risks associated with the Minor Athlete’s participation, including known and unknown risks. To the maximum extent permitted by Arizona law, I further acknowledge and assume risks that may arise from the ordinary negligence of a Released Party. 5. Parent/Guardian RepresentationsThe Parent/Guardian represents that: • the information provided on this Agreement is accurate to the best of their knowledge; • the Minor Athlete is physically capable of participating, or appropriate medical advice has been obtained when the Parent/Guardian considers it necessary; • the Parent/Guardian will disclose material medical restrictions or safety concerns relevant to participation; • the Minor Athlete will not participate while subject to a physician restriction, concussion restriction, or other medical hold; • and the Parent/Guardian will promptly notify the Gym of any material change affecting the Minor Athlete’s ability to participate safely. The Gym does not provide medical screening and does not determine whether an athlete is medically fit to participate. 6. Release of ClaimsIn consideration of the Minor Athlete being permitted to participate, the Parent/Guardian, individually and with respect to claims legally belonging to the Parent/Guardian, releases and waives claims against the Released Parties for bodily injury, personal injury, disability, death, or property damage arising out of or related to the Minor Athlete’s participation in the Activity or presence in participation areas of the Gym, including claims arising from the ordinary negligence of a Released Party, to the maximum extent permitted by Arizona law. To the extent Arizona law permits a parent or legal guardian to execute a release affecting claims of a Minor Athlete, the Parent/Guardian intends this Agreement to provide such a release to the maximum lawful extent. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to waive any right or claim that Arizona law does not permit to be waived in advance. This Agreement does not purport to release gross negligence, intentional misconduct, willful or wanton misconduct, or other liability that cannot lawfully be released. 7. No Broad Parental IndemnityThe Parent/Guardian is responsible for the conduct of the Minor Athlete and agrees to be financially responsible for intentional or malicious property damage caused by the Minor Athlete to the extent permitted by law. This Agreement does not require the Parent/Guardian to indemnify a Released Party for claims arising from that Released Party’s own negligence except to the extent expressly permitted by Arizona law and separately agreed to in writing. Team, coach, trainer, contractor, and organization insurance and indemnification obligations are governed by separate agreements and are not shifted to the athlete’s family through this form. 8. Emergency Medical Authorization and Accident Medical Disclosure (P5)If the Minor Athlete is injured or experiences a medical emergency, the Parent/Guardian authorizes Gym personnel and authorized team personnel to: • call 911 or summon emergency medical services; • provide basic first aid within the scope of their training; • communicate relevant medical and emergency information to first responders; • arrange emergency transportation when reasonably necessary; • and facilitate emergency medical care when the Parent/Guardian cannot be reached in time. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Parent/Guardian authorizes reasonably necessary emergency medical treatment when delay could threaten the Minor Athlete’s health or safety and the Parent/Guardian cannot timely be contacted. The Parent/Guardian understands that Gym personnel are not physicians and that this authorization does not guarantee the availability, adequacy, or success of medical care. The Parent/Guardian accepts financial responsibility for medical care provided to the Minor Athlete except to the extent another person or entity is legally responsible. Accident medical coverage disclosure (P5): Any participant accident medical coverage available through NBBL, if any, applies only to eligible participants under 18 years of age under the current policy schedule, is limited, may be excess to other insurance, and may not cover all losses. This form is not insurance and does not guarantee coverage or benefits. I should maintain personal health insurance for my child. 9. Injury and Concussion ReportingThe Minor Athlete and Parent/Guardian agree to promptly report injuries, suspected concussions, significant medical events, and material safety concerns. The Minor Athlete may not participate while subject to: • a concussion protocol; • physician restriction; • parent or guardian restriction; • or another medical restriction requiring removal from participation. The Gym may remove an athlete from participation when staff reasonably believe continued participation creates an immediate safety concern. Removal from participation is not a medical diagnosis. 10. TBI / Concussion Acknowledgment (P3)I Agree TBI / Concussion Awareness and Return-to-Play Acknowledgment. I received, read, and understand the NBBL Concussion Awareness and Return to Play Policy available at https://nobackboardbasketballgym.com/assets/NBBL%20Concussion%20Awareness%20and%20Return%20to%20Play%20Policy.pdf. I understand that a suspected concussion requires immediate removal from activity, notice to me or another parent or guardian, and written licensed physician clearance before return to play on a later day. I will promptly provide NBBL with any required written clearance.
12. Privacy Policy Reference (P4)I acknowledge that NBBL maintains a Privacy Policy describing how personal information may be collected and used in connection with NBBL activities. The current Privacy Policy is available at https://nobackboardbasketballgym.com/assets/NBBL%20Privacy%20Policy.pdf (also available upon request from NBBL at info@nobackboardbasketballgym.com). 13. Conduct and Safety RulesThe Minor Athlete agrees to follow Gym rules and reasonable instructions relating to safety, sportsmanship, conduct, equipment, and facility use. The Minor Athlete may be removed from an Activity for unsafe conduct, fighting, intentional misconduct, repeated rule violations, or behavior that creates an unreasonable risk to others. Alcohol, illegal drugs, tobacco, vaping products, and weapons are prohibited in athlete and playing areas. 14. Media Is SeparatePhotography, livestreaming, video recording, statistical tracking, or other media activity may occur at the Gym. THIS AGREEMENT IS NOT A MEDIA OR LIKENESS RELEASE. Media, livestream, and likeness elections (including Showcase livestream hard condition and training-clip AUTHORIZE / DO NOT AUTHORIZE) are collected on the separate NBBL Media Release (Form 2B for minors / Form 2A for adults). This participation agreement is not a media or likeness release. Permission for No Backboard Basketball League or another party to intentionally use the Minor Athlete’s name, image, likeness, voice, performance, interview, or other identifiable media for promotional, commercial, editorial, social-media, streaming, or other content purposes is governed by a separate parent/guardian media and likeness release (Form 2B). The absence of a media release does not by itself eliminate the validity of this participation-consent Agreement. Non-player minors attending showcases may need the separate Child Attendee Livestream Agreement. 15. Minor Athlete AcknowledgmentThe Minor Athlete should read or have explained to them the rules and risks appropriate for their age and level of understanding. By signing below, the Minor Athlete acknowledges that: • participation is voluntary; • basketball involves risk of injury; • they should follow safety rules and coach/staff instructions; • they should immediately report an injury, suspected concussion, or unsafe condition; • and they should stop participating and seek assistance when injured or feeling unable to continue safely. The Minor Athlete’s signature acknowledges these responsibilities but does not replace the required Parent/Guardian signature. 16. Arizona Law, Severability, and Entire AgreementThis Agreement is governed by Arizona law. Venue for disputes relating to this Agreement shall be in Maricopa County, Arizona, except where applicable law requires otherwise. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent legally permissible and the remaining provisions shall remain in effect. This Agreement constitutes the agreement concerning parental consent, acknowledgment and assumption of risk, release of claims, emergency authorization, and participation rules for the Activities covered by it. Media and likeness rights are governed separately. Electronic signatures and counterparts are permitted. PARENT / GUARDIAN ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND CONSENTI HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT. I UNDERSTAND THE NATURE OF THE ACTIVITIES AND THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH MY CHILD’S PARTICIPATION. I VOLUNTARILY GIVE PERMISSION FOR THE MINOR ATHLETE IDENTIFIED ABOVE TO PARTICIPATE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS AGREEMENT AFFECTS LEGAL RIGHTS AND CONTAINS A RELEASE OF CLAIMS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY ARIZONA LAW. |
