Terms and Conditions
Last updated: September 1, 2026
These Terms and Conditions govern your use of FirstStepPerformanceRI.com and any inquiries, registrations, purchases, or communications made through the website.
By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the website.
About First Step Performance
First Step Performance provides athletic development services, including speed, strength, movement, performance training, individual coaching, camps, and related programs.
Program availability, instructors, locations, schedules, pricing, and services may change without notice.
Website Information
We make reasonable efforts to keep the information on this website accurate and current. However, we do not guarantee that all descriptions, schedules, prices, photographs, or other information will always be complete, accurate, or error-free.
Website content is provided for general informational purposes. Information displayed on the website does not guarantee acceptance into a program, availability of a particular coach, athletic improvement, team selection, scholarships, recruitment, or any particular result.
If information on the website conflicts with a written registration agreement, program agreement, participation waiver, or other agreement issued by First Step Performance, the terms of that specific agreement will control.
Registration and Eligibility
Registration or submission of an inquiry does not guarantee a place in a training session, camp, or program. Participation may depend on availability, age requirements, payment, completion of required forms, and acceptance of applicable program rules.
A parent or legal guardian must complete or approve registrations and agreements for participants under 18 years old.
We reserve the right to refuse, suspend, or discontinue participation when reasonably necessary to protect participants, coaches, staff, facilities, or the operation of a program.
Athletic Training and Assumption of Risk
Athletic training and physical activity involve inherent risks. These may include falls, collisions, overexertion, muscle strains, sprains, fractures, illness, aggravation of an existing condition, and other injuries.
Participants and their parents or guardians are responsible for determining whether the participant is physically able to take part in a particular activity. Participants should consult an appropriate medical professional before beginning a new training program, particularly when the participant has an injury, medical condition, physical limitation, or other health concern.
Website content and communications from First Step Performance are not medical advice and should not be used as a substitute for evaluation or treatment by a qualified healthcare professional.
Participation may require a separate assumption-of-risk agreement, liability waiver, emergency-contact form, medical-information form, photo or media release, and parental or guardian consent. These Terms and Conditions do not replace those documents.
Participant Responsibilities
Participants are expected to:
-
Follow reasonable safety instructions provided by coaches and staff
-
Use equipment and facilities appropriately
-
Inform a coach about injuries, restrictions, or symptoms that could affect participation
-
Behave respectfully toward coaches, other participants, staff, and property
-
Avoid conduct that creates an unreasonable safety risk or disrupts the program
First Step Performance may remove a participant from an activity or program when the participant’s conduct presents a safety concern or substantially interferes with others.
Scheduling, Payments, Cancellations, and Refunds
Current prices, schedules, package terms, cancellation requirements, and refund policies will be provided during registration or booking.
Payment may be required before a participant’s place is confirmed. Training packages and program registrations may be subject to expiration dates, attendance requirements, cancellation deadlines, or other conditions disclosed at the time of purchase.
Unless otherwise stated in writing, submitting a website form does not create a binding reservation or guarantee availability.
If First Step Performance cancels or reschedules a session or program, affected customers will be contacted regarding the available options. Any program-specific written cancellation or refund policy will control over this general section.
Communications
When you submit an inquiry or register for a service, you authorize First Step Performance to contact you regarding your request, scheduling, registration, payment, safety information, and program updates.
Marketing communications will be sent only when permitted. You may opt out of promotional emails by following the unsubscribe instructions or contacting us directly.
You are responsible for providing accurate and current contact information.
Photography and Media
First Step Performance may photograph or record activities for instructional, promotional, or social-media purposes only when permitted by the applicable participation agreement or media release.
Parents or guardians should review the media-release options provided during registration. Contact us if you have questions about whether a participant may appear in photographs or recordings.
