The participant and parent/guardian, acknowledge and fully understand that each participant will be engaging in activities that involve risk of serious injury, including permanent disability and death, and that severe social and economic loss may result not only from his or her own actions, in actions, or negligence but from the actions, in actions or negligence of others, as well as the rules of play, the condition of the premises or from any equipment used. Further, that there may be other risks not known to the adult and/or minor participant including risks that may not be reasonably foreseeable.

Athlete Release Policy – Refund Policy
CCGBA understands sometimes unfortunate season ending injuries, loss of job, job relocation, or a loss of a loved one do occur. Therefore, we have partnered with US Sports Club Insurance to provide optional coverage to ease the burden of these unexpected life situations and assist with financial obligations.
In the event of a season ending catastrophic event established by the governing bodies of the sport before the season starts, CCGBA will refund all fees paid for tuition less any expenses that may have been incurred to prepare the team for the season. Season extension or postponement of events does not constitute a season cancellation.
Accepting a position on a travel team obligates each athlete to agree to pay in full the registration and team fees which are nonrefundable, regardless of whether the athlete decides to leave CCGBA prior to the end of the seasonal year. In the event an athlete wishes to be released from the program or stops playing for the reasons listed above or any other reasons not mentioned, CCGBA reserves the right not to release the athlete until all funds are paid. An athlete who stops playing is not released from their financial obligation to CCGBA. In the event an athlete wishes to be released from the travel team, we ask that the athlete or parent/guardian submit a letter or email stating the reason for withdrawal to the Director of the Respective Division and the Director of CCGBA. This information will then be reviewed by the appropriate Director, and Chief Financial Officer for a separation decision.
Photography Release
I grant CCGBA and all its departments and its promoters the right to take photographs of me in connection with CCGBA and its affiliates' events and gatherings. I authorize CCGBA and it’s promoters to copyright, use and publish the same in print and/or electronically.
I agree that CCGBA and it’s promoters may use such photographs of me with or without my name and for any lawful purpose, including publicity, illustration, advertising, and web content.
