In consideration for {name-1-first-name} {name-1-last-name}, being permitted to participate in {text-1}, for my child, and on behalf of his/her and my heirs, personal representatives and assigns, I do hereby RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE Front Range Christian School (FRCS), and its Board, officers, employees, agents, and representatives, from any and all liability for any and all damages, losses, or injuries to persons or property, which arise out of, occur during, or results from my child’s participation in the Activity.

1. To the best of my knowledge, I am not aware of any physical disability or health-related reasons or problems that would preclude or restrict my child’s participation in the Activity. My child and I are fully aware of the risks and hazards associated with participating in the Activity, and I understand that certain, inherent risks cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken to avoid injuries. I understand that specific risks vary depending on the level and nature of the activity. I understand these risks can range from minor personal injuries such as scratches, bruises, and sprains, to major injuries such as, but not limited to, eye injuries, back or joint injuries, or catastrophic injuries resulting in paralysis or death, as well as emotional distress, pain and suffering, property damage, and economic losses. I understand that my child’s participation in the Activity is purely voluntary and notwithstanding the risk of injury to my person or property, I elect to participate in the Activity, and I VOLUNTARILY ASSUME AND MY CHILD VOLUNTARILY ASSUMES FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY RISKS OF LOSS, PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND PERSONAL INJURY INCLUDING DEATH, that may be sustained by my child as a result of participation in such activities.

2. I have sufficient health insurance coverage to provide for and pay for any medical expenses that may be directly or indirectly result from my child’s participation in the Activity. I understand that Front Range Christian School provides no insurance coverage and does not take responsibility for the payment of any such medical expenses.

Further, this Release also does not waive prospective claims against FRCS and the above-described persons for a willful and wanton act or omission, a reckless act or omission, or a grossly negligent act or omission.

4. My child and I understand that this Agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of Colorado, and that if any portion hereof is held invalid, it is agreed that the remaining terms shall continue in full legal force and effect.

5. I agree that any dispute relating to this agreement or my child’s participation in the Activity between me and my child and Front Range Christian School shall be subject to arbitration in Denver, Colorado, in accordance with the rules of Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services (JAMS) or Judicial Arbitrators Group (JAG) upon the Agreement of the parties. The arbitrator shall have full authority to provide injunctive relief, including temporary or permanent restraining orders, and other equitable relief, which shall be enforceable through the District Court of Denver, Colorado, as any other judgment in accordance with the Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure. The parties agree that, in the event either party elects to arbitrate a dispute, the parties shall first have mandatory nonbinding mediation of any dispute and such mediation shall be conducted by a mediator, who shall be a person licensed to practice law and knowledgeable in the area of dispute, jointly selected by the parties or, if no such Agreement can be had, selected from the list of mediators maintained by Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services or Judicial Arbitrators Group in the Denver, Colorado office.

By my signature below, I have read the Participant Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk and Indemnification Agreement, fully understand and accept its terms, and sign it voluntarily.

As a parent of a student athlete, I am making an investment in my child and in the athletic program as a whole. As a parent of an FRCS athlete, I commit myself to the following:

1. Love the Lord my God with all my heart, all my soul and all my strength.
2. Pray with my student athlete to encourage him/her to glorify their Lord and Savior on and off the playing field.
3. Cheer in a positive manner exhibiting Christ-like behavior. Maintain perspective and be in control of my emotions.
4. Let the coaches’ coach. Resist the temptation to coach from the sidelines. Keep clear of the team bench.
5. Never approach a coach, athlete, referee, or school official regarding a ruling on the field of play.
6. Maintain the Matthew 18 principle of going directly to the source of my frustration regarding a coach, player etc if there are issues. Be mindful first to bring the frustration before the Lord in prayer.
7. If my student athlete takes issue with a coaching decision, I will advise them to talk with their coach regarding their feelings.
8. Avoid derogatory remarks towards officials, coaches, and other players as this only weakens the team.
9. Focus on performance and effort of the student athlete, not on outcome. Winning or losing is not the only indication of success.
10. Helping further and advance the mission and vision of the FRCS Athletic Department.

1. Help with transportation of student athletes to and from away games. Student athletes should not drive themselves to any away games. Some circumstances may be at the discretion of the Head Coach.
2. Support the eligibility requirements of your student athlete.
3. Attend mandatory athletic meetings for each sport prior to the start of each season.
4. Supervise your other children at all times at home and away games.
5. Have your athlete’s physical completed each year they are participating in school sports.
6. Uphold school rules regarding dress code at games.
7. Pick up students after all practices and games in a timely manner.
8. Read all materials distributed from coaches to you or your student/athlete.
9. Serve in any capacity as needed, when available (for example Falcon Club, helping with gate, concessions, cleaning, or officiating).
10. Pay the Athletic Fee in full by the end of the first week of the season. No refund will be given.

By signing this, you agree to uphold all of the above expectations and commitments to the best of your ability. In addition, you are agreeing to hold all family members and friends that enter into the Front Range community to the above expectations and commitments.

To glorify God by developing by committing fully to your team and devoting maximum effort into accomplishing your role on the team.

• To give 100% effort in all physical/mental/spiritual drills assigned, even when you are tired.

• To be coachable and improve your highest abilities.

• To enthusiastically encourage your teammates; even those who you are competing for positions with on your team.

• To embody the virtues of a Front Range Christian Athlete to the best of your ability.

• Adhere to all policy with the FRCS student handbook

• Abide by all rules and policies implemented by the head coach of your sport.

I have read the mission, vision, responsibilities, goals, and rules of the FRCS sports program, and agree to fulfill them as a member of the team. I agree to respect my coaches and the game officials unwaveringly and to fully devote my abilities to God, my team and to the school. I will strive to give all that I have toward becoming like Christ in every situation, no matter how difficult, and commit myself to the achievement of His attributes in myself, through athletics.

• All athletes must be certified as eligible to begin the year based on a review of their previous academic year grades based on CHSAA and FRCS requirements.

• Once the academic year begins at FRCS, eligibility checks will be done once every 9 weeks. If an athlete fails to meet the conditions below, they will be ineligible to compete in any scrimmages or competitions until the next eligibility report cycle (the following 9 weeks).

In order to be eligible for the current season the athlete must:

1. Be at a minimum of 2.5 Carnegie units* each semester.
2. Have no letter grades at or below an “F” (59% or below).

*Carnegie Unit– a measure of the amount of time a student has studied a subject. For example, a total of 120 hours in one subject—meeting 4 or 5 times a week for 40 to 60 minutes, for 36 to 40 weeks each year—earns the student one “unit” of high school credit

I have read and understand FRCS’s Sports Eligibility Requirements.

1. Elementary parents who desire their child or children to walk from the elementary campus to the junior/senior high after school may be allowed to do so if they have an older sibling present and available after school at the junior/senior high campus.

2. The children who walk between campuses will be instructed by their parents to remain on the school grounds sidewalk so as to avoid the blacktop and after school pick-up traffic.

3. The children who walk will use the buddy system and never walk alone.

4. FRCS administration requests that your elementary child or children, when entering the junior/senior high campus, find their sibling or coach/teacher and remain with them.

5. If Holy Grounds is open, and your child wants to pick up a snack before heading over to the upper campus, they are free to do so, but they should not linger in the café. We ask that they make their purchase and head directly to the junior/senior high campus.

6. Elementary parents understand that if their child or children abuse this walking privilege it may be revoked. Abuse is defined as:

   • Failure to stay on the sidewalk.
   • Failure to walk with a buddy.
   • Roaming unsupervised throughout the upper campus facility.
   • Causing damage to school property or a disturbance to the school environment.
   • Going into unauthorized areas of the school such as the teacher’s lounge, teacher’s restrooms, classrooms (unless a teacher is present and gives permission), storage areas, etc.
   • Failure to link up with their sibling or an adult at the upper campus.

I have read and accept the “Permission to Walk” expectations as stated above. I have also explained this policy to my child(ren) and together we accept responsibility for the proper exercise of this school walking privilege.

I give permission for my daughter/son, {name-1-first-name} {name-1-last-name}, to walk (without adult supervision) from FRCS’s elementary campus to the junior/ senior high school campus after school for the duration of the 2024/2025 school year. I understand that no adult supervision will be provided, and I accept the risk and responsibility for this decision.
