Emergency care authorization

If I cannot be reached in an emergency, I authorize Blaze Track Club staff to contact emergency services and to seek appropriate emergency medical evaluation or treatment for my child. I understand staff will make reasonable efforts to contact me and the emergency contact listed above. I understand that team staff are not medical professionals and cannot guarantee emergency outcomes.

Track and field involves running, jumping, throwing, conditioning, travel, and other physical activities. These activities carry inherent risks, including falls, collisions, muscle strains, sprains, heat-related illness, and other injuries. I understand these risks and have considered whether my child is able to participate.

As parent/legal guardian, I give permission for the athlete named in this form to participate in Blaze Track Club practices, workouts, team activities, and competitions that I have approved. I agree to inform coaches of relevant injuries, restrictions, or changes in health.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, I acknowledge the ordinary risks of voluntary athletic participation and accept responsibility for deciding whether my child should participate in a particular activity. Nothing in this form is intended to waive rights that cannot legally be waived, or to release any person or organization from liability where prohibited by law.

I understand that coaches may remove an athlete from an activity if they believe continued participation could be unsafe, and that emergency services may be contacted when appropriate.

Parents/guardians are responsible for arranging transportation unless the team has separately confirmed an approved team transportation plan. A coach or volunteer may not transport an athlete unless the arrangement has been explicitly approved by the parent/guardian and complies with team policy.

Athletes must be picked up promptly at the end of practice or an event. Please notify the coach if a different authorized adult will pick up your child.

The team will communicate registration, uniform, membership, meet-entry, travel, and other costs before payment is due. Some costs may be paid directly to a governing body (such as AAU) or an event organizer and may be separate from team dues. Any refund policy will be provided separately in writing before payment.

I confirm that the information in this form is accurate to the best of my knowledge. I understand that I am responsible for notifying Blaze Track Club of changes to my contact information, emergency contacts, health information, or permissions. I have reviewed this form and had the opportunity to ask questions.
