I, the undersigned, certify that I am the legal parent or guardian of the minor identified below (the "Participant") and that I have full legal authority to execute this Agreement on the Participant's behalf. This Agreement applies to all programs, activities, and events of the Rialto Hawks Football & Cheer Program, the Lady Hawks Flag Football Program, and Altus Dreams Academy, conducted by or in association with The Clark Family Dreams Do Come True Foundation.

1. Assumption of Risk

I acknowledge that participation in any Rialto Hawks Football & Cheer, Lady Hawks Flag Football, or Altus Dreams Academy program activities and events—including but not limited to practices, games, scrimmages, conditioning, travel, and related events—conducted by or in association with The Clark Family Dreams Do Come True Foundation (collectively, the "Released Parties"), involves inherent risks, including but not limited to injury, concussion, illness, permanent disability, or death.

I knowingly and voluntarily assume all such risks on behalf of the Participant, whether known or unknown, foreseeable or unforeseeable, and regardless of whether such risks arise from the negligence of the Released Parties or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

2. Release and Waiver of Liability

I hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue the Rialto Hawks Football and Cheer Program, Lady Hawks Flag Football Program, The Clark Family Dreams Do Come True Foundation, Altus Dreams Academy, and any of their directors, officers, coaches, employees, volunteers, agents, and affiliates (collectively, the "Released Parties") from any and all liability arising out of or related to participation in any program activity or event.

3. Indemnification and Hold Harmless

I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from any and all claims, liabilities, damages, or expenses, including attorneys' fees, arising from the Participant's involvement.

4. Insurance Acknowledgment

I understand that any insurance maintained by the Released Parties may be limited. I acknowledge that I am responsible for maintaining adequate medical and accident insurance coverage for the Participant and for all related expenses.

5. Medical Authorization

I authorize emergency medical treatment for the Participant if I cannot be reached and accept full responsibility for associated costs. I confirm the Participant is physically able to participate or that relevant conditions have been disclosed.

6. Concussion Protocol Acknowledgment

I understand that concussions and head injuries are a risk in youth sports. For the safety of all participants, any athlete showing signs of a possible concussion will be removed from play right away. They will not be allowed to return until they have been checked and cleared in writing by a licensed healthcare provider, as required by California law. I agree to support this process and will notify coaches or staff if my child reports any symptoms or concerns.

Therefore, I further understand and agree that:

  • The Participant must report injuries immediately.
  • If the injury is reported to me, I will report such injuries immediately.
