Consent for Participating in Coaching Sessions
I, being the rider listed above or the legal parent/guardian of the rider listed above if they are under 18, have read the information on this form and the following notes, and consent to taking part in the coaching sessions conducted in a traffic-free environment. I understand and agree that participation in coaching sessions under the instruction of British Cycling coaches is entirely at my own or their own risk. For riders under 18, I have considered the nature of such sessions and have discussed them with the rider listed above. I am satisfied that they are sufficiently responsible and competent to assume full and entire responsibility for their own safety.
Notes for riders under 18:
• You are giving consent for the rider listed above to participate in coaching sessions conducted in a traffic-free environment.

If the rider has to leave early, or is being collected by someone other than the parent/guardian, the parent/guardian must advise the coach of the details of the arrangement, including who will be collecting the rider.
• Young riders who persistently misbehave or put others in danger will be asked to leave the sessions and will not be allowed to attend in future.
