Assumption of Risks: Physical activity, by its very nature, carries with it certain dangers and risks that cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken to avoid injuries. Student Athlete Academy (SAA) has facilities for various sport specific and related activities such as strength training and running. Some of these activities involve strenuous exertions of strength using various muscle groups, some involve quick movements involving speed and change of direction, some involve contact with equipment, other participants (including participants that are older or younger and who may be larger or smaller (in terms of weight and height) than Participant), and various surfaces (which may be uneven), and others involve sustained physical activity which places stress on the cardiovascular system. .The specific risks vary from one activity to another, but in each activity the risks range from (1) minor injuries such as scratches, cuts, bruises, and sprains to (2) major injuries such as loss of sight, loss of teeth, broken bones, joint or back injuries, concussions, and heart attacks to (3) catastrophic injuries including paralysis and death. I also understand that the Participant may expose others, or may be exposed, to contagious diseases such as influenza, chicken pox, measles & Covid-19. Participant and Parent/Guardian have read the previous paragraphs and (1) understand the nature of the activities at SAA, (2) understand the demands of those activities relative to the physical condition and skill level of Participant, and (3) appreciate the types of illnesses and injuries which may occur as a result of activities made possible by SAA. Participant and Parent/Guardian hereby assert that participation is voluntary and that Participant and Parent/Guardian knowingly assume all such risks. Acknowledgement of Rules and Standards of Conduct: I understand that SAA has rules and standards of conduct. I agree to abide by these rules and standards for the safety of Participants, the staff, and the other participants. Acknowledgment of Understanding: Participant and Parent/Guardian have read this agreement to participate and fully understand its terms. Participant and Parent/Guardian acknowledge freely and voluntarily signing the agreement and intend the signatures to signify a complete assumption of the inherent risks of participating in or observing activities at SAA to the greatest extent allowed by law in the State of New Jersey. In signing this assumption of risk as Parent/Guardian, I acknowledge that I am consenting to the participant’s participation at SAA (as specified in paragraph one) and acknowledge that Participant and Parent/Guardian expressly assume all inherent risks of the activity.
