WHEREAS, TTR provides coaching and instruction to Youths regarding track & field, cross country running, road racing, mountain, ultra, trail, triathlons and other endurance sports as further defined in Appendix B (collectively the “Coaching Services”);
WHEREAS, in consideration for TTR providing the Coaching Services to Athlete, Athlete agrees to pay the fees as set forth in Appendix A;NOW THEREFORE, The parties hereby agree as follows:
Definitions. Terms defined in this Agreement shall have the same meanings as in the Waiver and Release of Liability between TTR and Athlete dated the day of this document’s submission.
Hire. Athlete hereby hires TTR to provide the Coaching Services to Athlete, in exchange for valuable consideration as described in Appendix A.
Provision of Coaching Services. TTR agrees to provide Coaching Services to Athlete as defined further in Appendix B.
Payment of Fees. In consideration of TTR’s provision of Coaching Services, Athlete shall compensate TTR according to the Fee Schedule attached hereto as Appendix A. TTR shall be entitled to adjust the fees listed on this Fee Schedule from time to time, provided that it gives Athlete advance notice of any changes. The parties agree that all fees are payable in advance and payment shall be made by check, cash or credit card. TTR shall invoice Athlete for fees and payment shall be made per the terms of the invoice. TTR reserves the right to invoice less frequently than monthly. Athlete acknowledges and agrees that fees paid to TTR pursuant to this Agreement are nonrefundable regardless of membership usage or termination.
Term and Termination of Agreement. This Agreement operates on a rolling 30-day basis from the date written below (“Term”) and automatically renews each month unless terminated by either party with at least 30 days written notice. Athlete acknowledges that TTR invests substantial resources in staffing, planning, and preparation each month to provide high-quality training and support. Because these resources are committed in advance and are not recoverable once allocated, Athlete agrees to fulfill the full financial obligation for each 30-day period once it begins, regardless of whether Athlete chooses to discontinue participation before the end of that period. If Athlete chooses to leave the team and later wishes to rejoin, the annual registration fee will be charged again upon re-enrollment, regardless of whether it was previously paid. The fee is canceled upon termination and does not carry over between periods of enrollment. This Agreement is also subject to the provision below on Ethics and Standards of Behavior.
Coaches. TTR has several coaches, any of whom may provide Coaching Services to Athlete constituting TTR’s performance under this Agreement.
No Employment Relationship. Athlete acknowledges that neither TTR nor any of its coaches is an employee of Athlete.
Tailored Program/Necessity of Two-Way Communication. TTR will develop particular methods, techniques and instructions tailored for Athlete based on regular, frequent communication with Athlete. The parties acknowledge that Athlete’s development requires that this communication be two-way communication of feedback between TTR and Athlete.
Risks; Waiver. It is important that Athlete fully considers and agrees to be solely responsible for the risks that are associated with athletics and its disciplines, all of which involve tremendous physical exertion. TTR’s role is to develop Athlete and other athletes. This necessarily involves pushing oneself to and beyond performance boundaries, which may at first seem impossible. However, TTR’s coaches are not physicians. By signing this Agreement, Athlete warrants and represents that he or she has been examined by a licensed physician or other appropriate qualified medical representative and certified to be physically able to handle all of the physical exertion that will be required in implementing TTR’s techniques and instruction. TTR and athlete also acknowledge the terms of the separate Waiver and Release of Liability Agreement, the terms of which are deemed to be restated and are incorporated by reference into this Agreement as though set forth word for word.
Media Release. Athlete acknowledges that his/her participation in the Activities may be recorded, whether by audiovisual, photographic, and/or audio means, by TTR or by other parties. Athlete agrees that TTR shall retain the right to procure, use, publish, and otherwise make use of any media resulting from such recordings and releases TTR and its affiliates from any and all liability connected with such use. For avoidance of doubt and without limitation, this provision applies to TTR’s use or reuse of Athlete’s appearance, name, voice, image, likeness, and/or biographical data. Athlete hereby authorizes TTR to use such media for any purpose whatsoever, including, without limitation, in print, advertisements, films, promotional materials, online, and in broadcast presentations. Athlete agrees that this permission shall be worldwide and perpetual, and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
HIPAA Release. I hereby authorize the staff of TTR to use, receive, disclose and release information regarding my protected health information and any related information regarding any injury or illness during my training for and participation in the Events or Activities. This protected health information may concern my medical status, medical condition, injuries, prognosis, diagnosis, athletic participation status, and related personally identifiable health information. TTR may disclose or release this protected health information to health care providers, hospitals and/or medical clinics and laboratories, insurance carriers, athletic coaches, strength and conditioning coaches, and other similar individuals or entities. Athlete understands that his/her protected health information is protected by federal regulations under the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) and may not be disclosed without Athlete’s authorization. Athlete acknowledges that this Agreement shall constitute such authorization, and that such authorization/consent for the use and/or disclosure of my protected health information is a condition for participation as an athlete with TTR.
Ethics and Standards of Behavior. By signing below, Athlete acknowledges that TTR requires that all people associated with it conduct themselves at all time with the utmost ethics and appropriate behavior. Athlete agrees that loud, rude, obnoxious or other inappropriate behavior; cursing, swearing, bragging, “trash talk”; negative or disrespectful comments about TTR or its coaches, staff, sponsors or other athletes; and any and all other acts and actions which reflect poorly on or negatively adversely affect TTR or anyone associated with it are a violation of this Agreement. Accordingly, any acts, actions or conduct, which violate the foregoing standards, as, determined solely and exclusively by TTR, are grounds for discipline, up to and including immediate termination of this Agreement without notice, and without repayment of any fees paid.
