1. Strive to provide the best available coaching staff available at the time of a planned or unplanned absence. We will provide substitute instructors or assistants for the classes and prioritize the "NO CANCELLATION POLICY FOR AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES" regardless of the instructor background or experience always aiming to have the best available and most competent personnel and not necessarily decreasing the value of the activity/instruction. 2. We reserve the right to make changes and adjustments of location and activities performing places, based on the weather or logistical circumstances as needed for any/all activities provided. 3. We make coaching assignments based on the consideration of the coaching director. No students are subject to register for a particular class in request or assumption of a particular coach nor request any refund due to a coach preference. 4. For team activities: Parents are responsible for ensuring arrival for games, setting up tents and returning tents to the school facility, proper attire for both practices and games, and any accessories or demands that the leagues require. NO COACHES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE MATTERS. 5. Coaches are responsible only for coaching the games, coaching practices, picking up and delivering students to their parents or bus drivers during practice days, sharing game schedules, sharing updates and other details, and safety of the children during any game or practice. 6. Any communications regarding program administration, concerns, or formal complaints must be first directed *in writing (email or message)* to the *Program Leader,* and second to the *Program Director Miguel Moreno* at 786-616-4237 or athleticsmiamifc@gmail.com.

We reserve the right to place athletes in the best possible environment for their developmental stage based on our expertise and do not exceed or push limits of any student as per parents requests, instead, if an athlete is considered ready to evolve or decrease challenges, we will suggest and take actions accordingly for the cases that are needed. 8. We reserve the right to serve, admit, or reject participants based on the athlete's or family members' behavior, precedent, or conduct within the organization, or due to financial obligations. *The payment for a product or service constitutes acceptance of these terms and does not, by itself, guarantee the provision of services.* Once an athlete attends at least one (1) class and secures a spot by purchasing the product, *all sales are final.* No refunds will be granted under any circumstance, including, but not limited to, athlete dissatisfaction, parental dissatisfaction with the service, or choice not to participate further, unless extreme, program-approved circumstances exist. 9. *Athlete and Parent/Guardian Code of Conduct:* Participation in our programs is conditioned upon adherence to our Code of Conduct by both the athlete and their parent/guardian. *We reserve the right to suspend or terminate the participation of any athlete* whose own or whose parent's/guardian's behavior is deemed detrimental, abusive, or disruptive to the program, staff, other participants, or the facility. *A detailed, three-step disciplinary action policy (Warning, Suspension, Termination)* regarding conduct and behavior is maintained and available upon request. No refunds will be granted for termination of services due to breaches of the Code of Conduct. 10.

Alexander Montessori Wildcats maintains concussion management protocols and guidelines designed to promote athlete safety, education, injury recognition, proper response, and safe return to play. 1. Education and Communication The program will provide concussion and head injury information to parents/guardians, athletes, and coaches in written or electronic form. This information will include: * The nature and risks of concussions and head injuries. * Prevention and preparedness strategies to help keep athletes safe. * Signs and symptoms of a possible concussion. * The importance of reporting symptoms immediately. * The risks of continuing to play after a suspected concussion or head injury. * The steps required before an athlete may return to play. Parents/guardians and coaches are encouraged to review educational materials from the CDC HEADS UP program. The CDC notes that concussion signs and symptoms may appear immediately or may take hours or days to be noticed. 2. Recognition of Possible Concussion Coaches and staff will monitor athletes for signs or symptoms that may include, but are not limited to: * Headache or pressure in the head * Dizziness or balance problems * Nausea or vomiting * Blurry or double vision * Sensitivity to light or noise * Confusion, feeling foggy, sluggish, or groggy * Difficulty concentrating or remembering * Appearing dazed, stunned, or confused * Moving clumsily or showing poor coordination * Answering questions slowly * Behavior, mood, or personality changes * Loss of consciousness, even briefly Any athlete showing signs, symptoms, or behaviors consistent with a concussion or head injury will be treated as having a suspected concussion. 3. Immediate Removal From Activity If an athlete is suspected of sustaining a concussion or head injury during practice, training, tryouts, games, or any program activity, the athlete will be immediately removed from participation. The athlete will not be allowed to return to activity the same day when a concussion or head injury is suspected. When in doubt, the athlete sits out. Florida law requires that a youth athlete suspected of sustaining a concussion or head injury be immediately removed from the activity and not return until written medical clearance is provided. 4. Parent/Guardian Notification The parent or guardian will be notified as soon as reasonably possible after a suspected concussion or head injury. Parents/guardians will be advised to monitor the athlete and seek medical evaluation from an appropriate healthcare professional. Emergency medical care should be sought immediately if danger signs are present, including repeated vomiting, worsening headache, seizures, slurred speech, weakness, unusual behavior, increasing confusion, inability to wake up, or one pupil larger than the other. 5. Medical Clearance Required Before Return An athlete removed due to a suspected concussion or head injury may not return to practice, games, training, tryouts, or competition until the program receives written medical clearance from an appropriate healthcare professional trained in the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of concussions. The clearance must state that the athlete no longer exhibits signs, symptoms, or behaviors consistent with a concussion or head injury and is medically cleared to return to athletic activity. 6. Graduated Return to Play Return to sports should be gradual and supervised. The CDC states that return to sports is a multi-step process and that an athlete should only return with approval from a healthcare provider. Once written clearance is received, the athlete may be gradually reintroduced to activity. If symptoms return at any stage, the athlete must stop activity and be re-evaluated before continuing. 7. Coach and Staff Responsibility All coaches and staff are expected to enforce this protocol consistently. Coaches may not override a suspected concussion removal decision or allow an athlete to return without proper written clearance. The safety and well-being of the athlete will always take priority over participation in practices, games, tournaments, or team events. 8. Recordkeeping The program will maintain records of concussion-related communications, parent/guardian notifications, incident reports, and written medical clearances when applicable.
