Disclaimer:
I acknowledge that the club assumes no liability for health and/or physical injuries or consequential damages that may arise, for example, due to a lack of fitness, especially due to existing illnesses and physical limitations. The participant is also aware that sports injuries may occur during training and the practice of sports and therefore releases the club and coaches from any liability. Parents are responsible for their children.

We would also like to point out that the club assumes no liability for theft or loss of personal valuables or damage to property caused by participants!

I hereby confirm that:
• I am mentally and physically capable of participating in training.
• I am aware that there is a risk of injury during acrobatics training and related disciplines.
• I am aware that acrobatics and related disciplines are high-risk sports.
• I accept responsibility for my body and will train diligently, following the instructions of the instructors.
• The club assumes no liability or responsibility in the event of an injury or adverse health consequences.
• I acknowledge that all exercises during training, both free and guided, are performed at my own risk.

2. General Training Rules

Personal Information.
• Inform the trainers of any health issues before starting training!
• Wear comfortable, tight-fitting clothing. (No spaghetti straps, no see-through pants.)
• Remove jewelry and cover any piercings.
• Maintain personal hygiene, wash your feet and hands, and keep your nails trimmed short (risk of injury).

Communication & Interaction
• Respectful and friendly interaction: NO means NO and spotter means spotter.
• Communicate figures and transitions in advance, and share safety concerns.
• Mindfulness and awareness of the athletic and personal boundaries (e.g., touching) of everyone involved.
• Welcome new members; training with beginners will primarily improve your skills!

Equipment and Safety
• If you have any questions, ask for instruction on how to use the equipment.
• Take care of the equipment and report any damage to the club staff immediately.
• Use sufficient and suitable mats and maintain a safe distance.
• Minimize hazards (slipping due to sweat, lotion, or similar) (use chalk).

Skills & Responsibility
• Arrive 100% fasted and physically and mentally fit (tiredness, illness).
• Be honest if you don't want to practice certain figures or with someone for whatever reason.
• Accept a NO without asking for a reason.
• Take care of spotting and spot others. The spotter MUST be familiar with the figure, its sequences, and the associated spotting.
• Be aware of your own limits and those of others; beginners can be difficult to judge! Don't push others beyond their limits.
• Good spotting is an art in itself; be attentive and 100% focused. (Spotter, not spectator)

Organization & Space
• Help with setting up and dismantling mats and equipment, even if you arrive late or leave early.
• Remove chalk residue and sweat from the floor, mats, and equipment. Stay at the edge with your snack.
Aerial Acrobatics:
• Use only with prior experience or under the supervision of an experienced person.
• No jewelry, sharp, or pointed accessories, or clothing details (e.g., zippers). Keep nails short and rounded.
• Check equipment before/after training - inform us if anything breaks!
• Before use, it is your responsibility to check that the suspension and equipment are properly installed and in good condition.
• Always train on a mat appropriate for the height level you are working at.
• The soft floors in the gym are generally reserved for aerial acrobatics; the last 20 minutes are also available for special acrobatic tricks.
• Aerial acrobatics is a risky sport; you are responsible for your own safety and for assessing your own abilities.
