These include, but are not limited to, death, severe neck and spinal injuries, and significant injuries to bones, joints, and muscles. While safety equipment and coaching can reduce these risks, they cannot be completely eliminated.

I agree to comply with all standard and customary terms and conditions for participation in CVCA programs. Should I observe any significant concerns regarding my Athlete’s readiness for participation or about the CVCA program itself, I will immediately withdraw my Athlete from participation and notify the nearest CVCA personnel.
Release and Waiver:
I, along with, {athleteName}, and on behalf of our heirs, assigns, personal representatives, and next of kin, hereby release CVCA, its employees, coaches, agents, subcontractors, other program participants, sponsoring agencies, sponsors, advertisers, and, if applicable, owners and lessors of premises used for CVCA programs (collectively referred to as "Releases"), from any and all injuries, disabilities, deaths, losses, or damages to personal property related to My Athlete’s involvement in CVCA programs, whether arising from the negligence of the Releases or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Indemnity:
I further agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless all of the above Releases from any and all liabilities arising from My Athlete’s participation in CVCA programs, even if due to the negligence of Releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Consent:
I have read this Waiver and Release of Liability, fully understand its terms, and acknowledge that I am signing it voluntarily.
