LEGACY ATHLETICS - LIABILITY WAIVER
PARTICIPANT:
I (the undersigned Participant, regardless of age, or a legal guardian on behalf of the minor Participant) agree to participate in one or more parties, programs, classes, clinics, open gyms, workouts, or events sponsored or held by Legacy Athletics, which may include, but is not limited to, one or more of the following: initial evaluations, speed/agility/motor skills training, cheer classes, tumbling classes, strength and conditioning, dance acrobatics or aerial dance, pole, lyra, events, birthday parties or other parties, and private lessons by any coach, trainer, staff member, subsidiary, or partnership of Legacy Athletics and/or Martha Perez (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Legacy Athletics").
Prior to participating, Legacy Athletics has made me fully aware that the fitness programs/classes offered and in which I desire to participate are extremely strenuous and can/may push me to the limits of my physical abilities. I recognize and understand that the programs/classes and exercises undertaken therein are not without varying degrees of risk, which may include, but are not limited to, the following: muscle soreness, tearing of muscles, minor aches and pains, tiredness, stiff joints and muscles, tearing of muscles, ligaments, muscle tissue, or bone, serious and/or life-threatening injuries to the musculoskeletal and/or cardiorespiratory systems, serious bodily injury, or death. I fully assume any and all risk of personal or bodily injury associated with participating at Legacy Athletics.
STATEMENT OF MEDICAL CONDITION:
I realize that Legacy Athletics offers training programs that are extremely demanding, even for very fit individuals, including elite athletes, competitive athletes, and combat-ready troops. Knowing this, I hereby state and certify that I receive periodic medical check-ups at least once a year, that I have had a physical examination from a competent physician within the past 12 months, and that I (or my child/ward, if applicable) have no cardiovascular or other health concerns, problems, or illnesses that might prevent me (or my child/ward) from participating in any of Legacy Athletics’ programs.
This includes (but is not limited to) heart problems, lung problems, circulatory issues, diabetes, high blood pressure, low blood pressure, hardening of the arteries, shortness of breath, chest pains, arrhythmia, heart palpitations, arterial dysfunction, circulatory disorders, or any other condition that would reasonably raise concern. I (or my child/ward) have no knowledge of any other medical problems or conditions that might increase the risk of illness or injury as a result of participating in such programs.
Legacy Athletics has fully and carefully informed me that I (or my child/ward) may experience adverse physical changes during and/or after exercise, such as joint or muscular aches and/or pains, swelling, abnormal blood pressure, fainting, disorder of heart rhythm, stroke, and in very rare instances, heart attack or even death. I fully understand this information. With this understanding, I agree to assume any and all risks associated with participation in Legacy Athletics programs/classes, for myself and/or my child/ward.
DISCLOSURE OF MEDICAL, DEVELOPMENTAL, AND BEHAVIORAL CONDITIONS:
In addition to the foregoing, I acknowledge and agree that it is my affirmative and ongoing duty as the Participant, or as the legal guardian of a minor Participant, to fully disclose to Legacy Athletics any and all medical, physical, developmental, cognitive, neurological, or behavioral conditions that may affect the Participant’s ability to safely engage in activities.
Such conditions include, but are not limited to:

- Physical limitations, prior injuries, or chronic conditions
- Any condition requiring modification of instruction, supervision, or participation
I expressly acknowledge that Legacy Athletics programs involve physical activity, coordination, spatial awareness, and directional instruction (including left/right differentiation), and that failure to disclose such conditions may increase the risk of injury to the Participant and/or others.
I further represent, warrant, and agree that:

ASSUMPTION OF ALL RISKS:
For and in consideration of being allowed to participate, I do hereby intentionally, willingly, and voluntarily assume full responsibility for any and all risks of injury, including serious bodily injury or death, as stated above, to which I (or my child/ward) may be exposed as a result of participation in Legacy Athletics programs, classes, workouts, or events.
