Assumption of risk and release of liability
Please read this section in full before signing.
What the program involves. Our sessions will include age-appropriate strength and conditioning, along with hockey-specific work focusing on stickhandling, shooting, passing, balance, agility, and coordination. Sessions take place at the Elevate Performance & Recovery facility and involve the use of gym equipment, training tools, sticks, pucks, and balls.
Risks. Physical training carries inherent risks that cannot be eliminated no matter how carefully the program is run. These include, but are not limited to: sprains, strains, fractures, contusions, joint and muscle injury, dental or facial injury, being struck by a stick, puck, ball, or other equipment, collision with other participants, concussion or other head injury, heat illness, cardiac events, permanent disability, and death. Risks may arise from the activity itself, from equipment, from the facility, from the actions of other participants, and from the player's own physical condition or conduct.
Acknowledgment. I confirm that my child is in good physical health and able to take part in vigorous physical activity, and that any condition affecting participation is disclosed above. I understand I should consult a physician before my child begins this or any exercise program. I agree to withdraw my child from any activity that appears unsafe, and I authorize Elevate to remove my child from an activity for safety reasons.
Release. In consideration of my child being permitted to participate, I — on behalf of myself, my child, and our heirs and legal representatives — release and agree not to sue Elevate Performance & Recovery LLC, its owner, staff, contractors, coaches, and volunteers ("Elevate") for any claim, loss, injury, damage, or expense arising out of my child's participation, including claims based on ordinary negligence. This release does not apply to gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct, and does not waive any right that cannot be waived by law.
Indemnification. I agree to indemnify and hold Elevate harmless from any claim brought by or on behalf of my child arising out of participation, except to the extent caused by Elevate's gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct.
Emergency medical care. If my child is injured and I cannot be reached, I authorize Elevate to arrange emergency medical care, including transport by ambulance. I accept financial responsibility for that care.
Rules and conduct. My child will follow staff instructions, gym rules, and equipment guidelines, and will treat other participants and the facility with respect. Elevate may end participation for conduct that puts anyone at risk.
Terms. This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New Hampshire. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. It stays in effect for the duration of my child's participation in Elevate youth training programs unless I withdraw it in writing.
I have read this agreement in full and I understand it. *
I accept the risks described above and I agree to the release and indemnification on behalf of my child. *
I authorize emergency medical care if I cannot be reached. *
The health information I provided is accurate, and I will tell Elevate if anything changes. *
Photo and video consent
This one is entirely your choice. Your player takes part either way, and saying no changes nothing about their training.
Elevate sometimes photographs or films training sessions for coaching review, for the team, and for social media, the Elevate website, and printed materials. If you consent, you allow Elevate to record your child during sessions and to use those images and recordings for those purposes, without payment and without further approval. Elevate will not publish your child's last name, school, address, or contact information alongside any image.
You can withdraw consent at any time by emailing josh@elevatenh.com. Elevate will stop future use and remove published material where it still controls the platform, though material already shared or reposted by others may not be recoverable.
Yes. Elevate may photograph and film my child and use those images as described, including on social media and the Elevate website.
Coaching use only. Elevate may record my child for internal coaching review, but may not publish images publicly.
No. Please do not photograph or film my child at all.
