I confirm that I understand that while every due care and diligence will be extended to the Player during their participation at SHANE SMELTZ FOOTBALL and while in the care of appointed coaches, there is a risk of physical injury. As the parent and/or guardian of the Player I voluntarily accept the risk associated with the Player's participation in the PROGRAM.

I agree to release, defend, hold harmless and indemnify SHANE SMELTZ FOOTBALL and their employees and agents from and against any actions, claims, demands, expenses and liabilities howsoever arising from injury, loss or damage arising from my son/daughter's participation in the program.

SHANE SMELTZ FOOTBALL do not credit for cancelled sessions due to extreme weather such as lightening, torrential rain etc.

I understand that if the player misses a session through illness or injury, SHANE SMELTZ FOOTBALL will grant them a maximum of (one) catch-up session per term. A term credit will only be available if a make up session is not available. All other absences will not be credited unless approved in advance by SHANE SMELTZ FOOTBALL staff. This is to maintain our squad numbers and consistency.

Uniform

I understand that SHANE SMELTZ FOOTBALL have a strict uniform and attendance policy. Please ensure the player is always wearing correct uniform and while hats are optional apparel, if worn, they must be SHANE SMELTZ FOOTBALL branded. If the player is going to miss a session, please advise admin staff as soon as possible. Please ensure the player arrives on time to their sessions.

Code of Conduct - Parent/Guardian

I understand that as a parent/guardian, I am obligated to behave in manner that is respectful at all times. This includes but is not limited to:

• Not sitting/walking on the field where your child is training unless called over by a coach in case of injury
• Allowing the allocated coach to deal with situations to the best of his/her ability, unless they request for your assistance
• Not speaking negatively to other children at the PROGRAM.
• Speaking to staff in a manner that is non-threatening and fair at all times

Supervision

I understand that as a parent/guardian, supervision commences at the start of the session when the child is on the field and concludes at the end of the session when the child is dismissed by the coach on duty. Please ensure your child is supervised at all other times as there is no one designated to care for unsupervised children.

Staff

I understand that all staff and coaches abide by a code of conduct and will take all necessary steps to ensure duty of care takes place at all times in their dedicated time of supervision.
