Release of Liability

 I, [Full Name], as the parent or legal guardian of [Minor’s Name], hereby give my full consent and approval for my child to participate in classes at Synergy at Play.

I understand that participation in these classes involves certain risks, which I voluntarily accept for myself and my child. I certify that my child is fully capable of participating in all registered classes and that my child is in good health with no undisclosed physical or mental conditions that would restrict their full participation. Any known restrictions affecting my child’s ability to participate must be provided in writing to the director or staff of Synergy at Play.

On behalf of myself and my child, I agree to hold harmless and fully indemnify Synergy at Play, its management, and staff—provided all reasonable safety procedures have been followed—from any liability arising from personal injury or injury to any third party resulting from my child’s actions or participation in the activities.
